Hypertensive crisis unveils hidden celiac disease: A rare case report

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the small intestine triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This case illustrates the importance of considering atypical presentations of celiac disease, particularly in patients presenting with hypertensive crises and unexplained symptoms such as anemia and abdominal discomfort. The early recognition of such presentations can prevent delayed diagnosis and further complications.
