Abstract
The review article Biomarkers for Intestinal Damage in Pediatric Celiac Disease examines emerging biomarkers for evaluating intestinal injury and monitoring disease activity in children with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune-mediated condition triggered by gluten exposure in genetically predisposed individuals and is associated with damage to the small intestinal mucosa. The article discusses the limitations of conventional diagnostic approaches, including serological testing and intestinal biopsy, and considers alternative biomarkers that may support disease assessment.

Introduction
Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder that develops in genetically susceptible individuals following exposure to gluten. In children, the condition can affect nutrient absorption, intestinal integrity, growth, and overall development. Accurate diagnosis and continued monitoring are important for managing the disease and evaluating responses to a gluten-free diet. [1]
