LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - celiac sprue assay;
LOINC description : This is a two-step serologic measure to determine whether a person is positive for
celiac sprue, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy. The purpose of this measure
is to determine the presence of celiac disease, an intolerance to dietary glutens
that has protean manifestations. Surveys in other countries have found celiac sprue
in about 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent of the population. Celiac sprue may well be as
common in the United States, but it has not been adequately examined.;
