Celiac Antibodies Profile tTG IgA, tTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IgG, EMA IgA, and Total IgA

Also known as: Deamidated Gliadin, Endomysial IgA Antibodies

Clinical Use

Order Test

Use

Aid in the diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathies

Special Instructions

Not provided.

Limitations

The test might not detect all cases of celiac disease, as it primarily identifies specific antibodies. False negatives may occur, particularly if the patient has already eliminated gluten from their diet or possesses selective IgA deficiency. Consider results in conjunction with clinical findings and consider additional tests or biopsies if necessary. The presence of antibodies in the serum will decline with the exclusion of gluten from the diet, potentially impacting monitoring results. There may be variability in results depending on individual patient factors, and additional confirmatory tests are sometimes required to conclusively diagnose the condition.
