1. Food Antigen Sensitivity in Coeliac Disease Assessed by the Mucosal Patch Technique
Sammanfattning : A diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) in adults relies on the presence of a structurally abnormal intestinal mucosa, followed by a clear clinical remission on a gluten-free diet. There is a clear need for a rapid, simple, safe and sensitive method to determine the type and intensity of inflammation in the gut mucosa in clinical practice. LÄS MER
2. Gut Mucosal Reactivity to Gluten and Cow´s Milk Protein in Rheumatic Diseases
Sammanfattning : This thesis comprised patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. The studies aimed to elucidate food sensitivity by measuring mucosal inflammatory reactivity and thereby a possible link between the gut and joints. LÄS MER
3. IgA Nephropathy – Mucosal Immunity and Treatment Options
Sammanfattning : In the present studies we have explored the link between food hypersensitivity and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and evaluated treatment options in primary and recurrent disease. Approximately one third of our IgAN patients had a rectal mucosal sensitivity to gluten, as demonstrated by increased local mucosal nitric oxide production and/or myeloperoxidase release after gluten challenge.
