Order Celiac Disease Antibody Test | IgG & IgACeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with celiac disease consumes gluten, the immune system produces antibodies that attack the lining of the small intestine. This antibody response is the basis for serological testing. The Celiac Disease Antibody Test measures specific antibodies in the blood to help identify an immune reaction consistent with celiac disease.
About Celiac Disease Antibody Test | IgG & IgA in Bluffton
The Celiac Disease Antibody Test evaluates IgG and IgA antibodies against tissue transglutaminase and gliadin.
Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is an enzyme that modifies gluten peptides, and it is the primary autoantigen in celiac disease. IgA and IgG antibodies to tTG are commonly measured because they correlate with intestinal damage in untreated celiac disease.
Gliadin is a component of gluten. Antibodies to gliadin, particularly deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP), can also be detected. IgG and IgA versions of these antibodies provide complementary information, especially when a person has an IgA deficiency, which is more common in celiac disease.
Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and other findings. Elevated antibody levels may suggest an immune response to gluten, but a definitive diagnosis typically requires additional evaluation. Antibody testing is not a standalone diagnostic tool and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
