<Abstract>The celiac disease screening with IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies depends on the cut-off reaction, therefore many patients with values less but close to the cut-off may be undiagnosed. Material and Method. We conducted the CD screening with IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies in a group of 1616 children during 2014 at a cut-off of 25 U/ml and at a cut-off of 10 U/ml. We also wanted to compare our results with IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies prevalence from other countries. Results. We found a IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies prevalence rate of 3% for values higher 25 U/ml and a IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies prevalence rate of 1.6% for values between 10-25 U/ml. A prevalence of 13.6% for IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies was observed in ,  and . Conclusions. We observed a 4.6% IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies prevalence at a cut-off of 10 U/ml. Prevalence of IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies from Romania is lowered compared with other European countries.</Abstract>
