Endoscopy showed a normal appearance of duodenal mucosa, and duodenal biopsy revealed a partial recovery of duodenal morphology. Due to the persistence of proteinuria (2.3 g\/day), microscopic hematuria and hyaline and granular casts, a kidney biopsy showed that it was IgA nephropathy.\u00a0After 18 months of gluten-free diet, antiendomysial antibodies disappeared; creatinine clearance increased, but proteinuria further worsened (2.9 g\/day, Table 1), and albumin levels were still low.\u00a0After 24 months of gluten-free diet, a new duodenal biopsy showed complete recovery of villous architecture. Renal function further improved and proteinuria markedly decreased (Table 1). Amylase, lipase, and immunoglobulin levels were within the normal range. Anti-b2-glicoprotein-1, anti-thyreoglobulin, antigliadin, antiendomysial and anti-TTG antibodies were undetectable. A coagulation study was normal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Although both celiac disease and the other manifestations of a deranged immunity might be explained on the basis of a common genetic predisposition to this kind of disorders, some findings suggest that celiac disease itself is responsible for the initiation of the immunological response. Indeed, persistent stimulation by some proinflammatory cytokines, such as interferon \uf067 and tumor necrosis factor \uf061, could induce further processing of autoantigens and their presentation to T-lymphocytes by macrophage-type immunocompetent cells. As a matter of fact, the prevalence of immune diseases among patients with\u00a0celiac disease\u00a0seems proportional to the time of exposure to gluten, and many immune alterations disappear following the recognition of\u00a0celiac disease\u00a0and appropriate treatment, just as it occurred in this patient.&#8221;<a href=\"#footnote_4_137\" id=\"identifier_16_137\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"La Villa G, Pantaleo P, Tarquini R, Cirami L, Perfetto F, Mancuso F, Laffi G.
