Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is characterized by sensitivity to gluten, which is found in dietary
wheat, barley, and rye. Many extra-intestinal manifestations have been described in association
with CD. Liver disease and CD share widespread risk factors. Liver disorders
such as autoimmune hepatitis, elevation of liver enzyme levels, primary biliary cirrhosis,
nonspecific hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease have been reported in patients with CD. In this review, we provide information
regarding liver disorders that may be found in association with celiac disease and the
effect of the treatment of CD on these disorders.
