BBC Radio 4’s interview on new diagnosis guidelines

BBC Radio 4’s interview on new diagnosis guidelines

August 13, 2020

Listen again to BBC Radio 4’s Inside Health where Dr Hugo Penny, one of the authors of the new interim guidelines from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) is interviewed about diagnosis of coeliac disease in adults.

Listen again to BBC Radio 4’s Inside Health where Dr Hugo Penny, one of the authors of the new interim guidelines from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) is interviewed about diagnosis of coeliac disease in adults.

The interim guidance states that some adults under 55 years of age, who meet certain criteria can now be diagnosed based on blood tests alone, cutting out the long wait for an endoscopy with biopsy. The initial blood test can be requested by a GP but the final diagnosis should be made by a gastroenterologist (a gut specialist) who will decide whether a no-biopsy diagnosis is suitable based on the latest guidance.

Listen to the interview here. (interview starts at 13 minutes, 30 seconds)
