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 mounts an abnormal response that damages the lining of the small intestine over time. Antibody testing is a key part of the diagnostic process, helping to identify whether an immune reaction consistent with celiac disease is present.
About Celiac Disease Antibody Test | IgG & IgA in Pine Bluff
The Celiac Disease Antibody Test measures specific antibodies in the blood that are associated with celiac disease.
The test detects tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies and gliadin antibodies, both in IgG and IgA forms. Tissue transglutaminase is an enzyme that plays a role in the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and antibodies against it are considered a sensitive marker for the condition. Gliadin is a component of gluten, and antibodies against gliadin can also appear in some individuals with gluten-related immune reactions.
IgA and IgG refer to two classes of antibodies produced by the immune system. Testing for both classes helps account for the possibility that a person may have an IgA deficiency, which is more common in people with celiac disease and can lead to false-negative results if only IgA antibodies are measured.
This screening test is typically used when symptoms or risk factors suggest celiac disease. It does not by itself confirm a diagnosis; results are interpreted alongside clinical history and, when appropriate, additional procedures such as an intestinal biopsy. The turnaround time for results is generally one to three business days, and any preparation instructions provided by the laboratory should be followed.
