Order Celiac Disease Antibody Test | IgG & IgACeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, and its diagnosis rests heavily on laboratory evidence. Antibody testing for tissue transglutaminase and gliadin provides an objective way to detect the immune response that characterizes the disorder.
About Celiac Disease Antibody Test | IgG & IgA in Pasadena
Celiac disease antibody testing measures specific immune proteins in the blood that the body produces when it reacts abnormally to gluten.
The test detects two classes of antibodies: immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgA antibodies are the more common finding in celiac disease, while IgG antibodies can be useful when a person has an IgA deficiency, a condition that occurs more frequently in those with celiac disease.
Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is the primary autoantigen in celiac disease, and antibodies against it are considered the most sensitive and specific blood marker for the condition. Gliadin, a component of gluten, can also provoke an antibody response, and testing for anti-gliadin antibodies may offer additional information, particularly in certain clinical situations.
Because antibody levels depend on ongoing gluten exposure, results are most interpretable when a person has been consuming gluten regularly. A positive antibody result does not by itself confirm celiac disease; it indicates the need for further evaluation, often including an intestinal biopsy. Conversely, a negative result does not entirely exclude the condition in every case.
