Initial Consultation

Nadia came to AK Diagnostic Center for a comprehensive gastrointestinal health evaluation.

Diagnostic Approach

1. Biochemistry Tests:
   • Liver Function Tests (LFTs): To assess liver health and function.
   • Pancreatic Enzyme Levels: To evaluate pancreatic function.
2. Serology Tests:
   • Celiac Disease Panel: To check for gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
3. Imaging Tests:
   • Abdominal Ultrasound: To visualize the organs and identify any abnormalities.

Test Results

• LFTs: Normal, indicating healthy liver function.
• Pancreatic Enzyme Levels: Slightly elevated, suggesting possible pancreatic inflammation.
• Celiac Disease Panel: Positive, indicating celiac disease.
• Abdominal Ultrasound: Showed no significant abnormalities.

Treatment Plan

1. Dietary Changes: Initiation of a gluten-free diet to manage celiac disease.
2. Medication: Enzyme supplements to aid digestion if necessary.
3. Follow-Up: Regular monitoring of symptoms and dietary adherence.

Outcome

Nadia’s symptoms improved significantly with dietary modifications. She reported reduced abdominal pain and bloating, and her overall digestive health improved.
