Description
Nektarios Liapis and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, whether lupus raises the risk of coeliac disease, and find the literature at war with itself. Both are immune disorders, and reports suggested coeliac disease appears more often in lupus patients than in the general public.
From nearly three thousand papers, fifteen survived full screening across four decades. Most studies did find higher rates of biopsy-proven coeliac disease and of its marker antibodies in lupus patients, but the spread between studies was striking. The authors call the gap itself the finding: inconsistent testing and definitions leave a basic clinical question unanswered.
