•ï?§Clinical remission - Absence of any gluten associated symptoms known to occur in patients with celiac disease.
•ï?§Biochemical remission- This will include normal anti-tTG value. In addition to this, various markers of gluten related injury will also be assessed: (IFN-Î³, plasma citrulline, I-FABP).
•ï?§Histological remission â?? Normal vh/cd ratio (i.e. 4:1).
•ï?§Along with being in clinical, biochemical and histologic remission the eligibility will also include the following tests: anti-TTG, Complete blood count, IFN-Î³, plasma citrulline, I-FABP, vh/cd ratio and IELâ??s (to set a baseline for these parameters).
