Blood test may replace painful biopsy for celiac diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07364461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a newer type of blood test (CLIA) can reliably diagnose celiac disease without needing a biopsy of the small intestine. Researchers analyzed data from 765 adults who had both the blood test and a biopsy. The goal was to find the right cutoff value that would make the blood test accurate enough to confirm celiac disease on its own.
