Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, coeliac disease is characterised by the triad of histological features: 1) intraepithelial lymphocytosis (IEL>30/100 epithelial cells), 2) lamina propria inflammation, and 3) villous atrophy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malabsorption of many nutrients, including iron, vitamin D, and zinc, are common in a person with newly diagnosed or untreated celiac disease. Even though celiac disease typically damages the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum), the entire small bowel can be affected.
Detailed explanation-3: -Small intestinal histologic abnormalities in celiac disease include atrophy of the intestinal villi, hypertrophy of the crypts and lymphocytic infiltration of intraepithelial spaces and lamina propria.
