First-degree relatives of patients with celiac disease are at high risk for developing the disease themselves. Detection of serum antibodies and intestinal permeability tests have been useful to identify candidates for intestinal biopsies. Recently it was demonstrated that abnormal sucrose permeability is a very sensitive marker of active disease. Our objectives in this prospective study were (1) to assess the screening value of permeability tests, and (2) to compare the usefulness of these markers with that of the celiac disease-related serology in screening for celiac disease in a cohort of first-degree relatives of well-known patients.
