Antibody tests boost celiac disease diagnoses

抗体测试提升了腹腔的疾病诊断

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The advent of antibody testing to diagnose celiac disease has led to a substantial increase in the number of cases detected among children, a new study suggests.

一项新的研究表明：腹腔疾病抗体测试的推出，导致在儿童中该病被大量的诊断出。

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley -- as well as in many everyday items like medicines and vitamins. The disease damages structures in the lining of the small intestine called villi, which then impairs the body's absorption of nutrients.

腹腔疾病是由于对麸质的非正常免疫反映，导致消化系统紊乱。麸质是一种蛋白质，常在小麦、黑麦和大麦，以及许多日常药物和维他命中发现。该疾病破坏了小肠薄膜结构，然后削弱身体营养物质的吸收。

Traditionally, "classic" celiac disease was diagnosed when babies and young children developed symptoms like chronic diarrhea and significant weight loss. But in more recent years, experts have found that celiac disease has a wider variety of symptoms -- including chronic abdominal pain, acid reflux, vomiting and constipation -- particularly in older children.

通常情况下，当幼儿和小孩出现慢性腹泻和显著的体重下降时，“典型”的腹腔疾病才会被诊断出。但在最近一些年来，专家已经发现了腹腔疾病一些更广泛的各种各样症状，包括长期腹部疼痛、反酸、呕吐和便秘－特别是在大一点的孩子身上。
