The patients were assigned to two groups: the first group consisted of 94 (45.6%) children with GT, the second group consisted of 112 (54.4%) children with normal AST and ALT parameters.Results Frequency of GT in children with CD decreases with age. At the age under 1 year GT was diagnosed in 8 (80.0%), at 1–3 years – in 51 (58.6%), at 3–7 years – in 26 (41.9%), at 7–11 years – 6 (27.3%), at the age of adolescence – in 3 (12.0%) cases. At the age under 3 years GT was diagnosed in 59 (60.8%), and over 3 years – in 35 (32.1%) patients (p<0.001). The mean age for verification of the diagnosis in the study groups was 3.4±0.3 years and 6.3±0.4 years (p<0.001). The first symptoms of CD in the first group of children occurred at the age of 1.2±0.1 years, in the second group – at 2.6±0.3 years (p<0.001). In patients with typical enteral syndrome GT was diagnosed in 90 (49.7%), and with extraenteric symptoms – in 4 (16.0%) cases (p<0.01). Correlation analysis showed a direct correlation between anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) IgA and ALT (r=0.30, p<0.005) and AST (r=0.21, p<0.05). A direct correlation between Marsh jejunum atrophy stage and levels of ALT (r=0.58, p<0.001) and AST (r=0.48, p<0.001) was revealed.Conclusions GT is significantly more frequently diagnosed in children with CD at early age. Transaminases activity in patients with CD correlates with anti-tTG IgA and IgG, and with the intensity of jejunum atrophy.
