Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder caused by an abnormal immune response induced by a permanent intolerance to wheat, barley and rye in the diet. This diagnosis is performed by blood screening tests in conjunction with endoscopic confirmation and biopsy. CD has been associated with other
autoimmune diseases and systemic manifestations. In recent years, the relationship of CD with unexplained infertility has been studied with greater relevance. Among the pathophysiological mechanisms nutritional deficiency and specific autoimmune processes are highlighted either at the time of conception or that these mechanisms are priorly developed causing ovarian deficiency . CD screening in infertile patients has been proposed ;however, this has generated controversy due to its utility. Although the relationship between these pathologies is strong, it has been shown in different studies that the utility when performing such routine screening depends on the type of population and its prevalence
