Is celiac disease transferable by blood transfusion?

Best Answers

Like i wrote elsewhere, Celiac disease (CD) is a malady of the gut caused by gluten sensitivity. This has nothing to do with pathogens or infection. Only infectious diseases are transmitted via blood transfusion. As such, it is obvious CD can not be contracted by transfusion. read more

Not transferable per se but if the celiac has been consuming gluten it’s likely their blood will contain the antibodies that cause the disease. It’s possible that those antibodies could cause celiac-like problems for the recipient of the blood, though it would be a one time thing and would not persist after the donated blood eventually leaves the recipient’s system. read more

Blood interactions either through cuts, sexual intercourse, equipment sharing or transfusion are arguably the shortest means of transfer of viral, bacterial and other pathological infections. read more
