Introduction
Celiac disease (CD) may be associated with liver abnormalities (LA) and these abnormalities are often liver blood tests abnormalities corresponding to cryptogenic hypertransaminasemia or celiac hepatitis (CH) which is reversible after strict gluten free diet (GFD). CH may be the only manifestation of unrecognized CD. Other LA may be associated, especially those of dysimmune origin or overload. The mechanisms of these associations are unclear and the role of the GFD is uncertain.
