About the Test
Help determine whether you have antibodies associated with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks itself with its own antibodies. In individuals with celiac disease, the ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley) triggers an immune response that attacks your small intestine. This panel checks for certain celiac antibodies—transglutaminase IgA (tTG IgA) and Immunoglobulin A (IgA)—that your immune system would create if you have celiac disease. This test is the initial screen to determine if further testing is required.
PLEASE NOTE
This test will not provide a diagnosis of celiac disease. Abnormal tTG IgA and total IgA values should be discussed with your physician to decide what additional testing is required for a celiac disease diagnosis. For accurate results, your diet should include gluten at the time of testing. The test may also be used to monitor antibodies after a doctor-prescribed gluten-free diet.

FAQs
Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system malfunctions and mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues and organs. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that appears to cluster in families and is triggered by gluten consumption; however, some with a genetic predisposition will not develop the disease. Genetic risk is just one of multiple factors that may result in celiac disease. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten-containing products, their immune system responds abnormally, causing damage to the tiny, finger-like projections that line the small intestine (villi), which play a crucial role in absorbing nutrients.
Gluten is a complex protein mixture composed primarily of gliadin and glutenin that appears naturally in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, gives dough its elastic texture, and acts as a thickener or stabilizer. While some gluten-containing items are easy to identify, some may be found in unexpected places, such as cough syrups, soy sauce, and seasonings.
No, celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that cannot be outgrown and is a lifelong condition.
Currently, there is no known cure for celiac disease. For most people, adhering to a strict gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms, promote intestinal healing, and prevent further damage in the small intestine.
Celiac disease isn't the same as gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity. Although individuals with gluten intolerance may exhibit some of the same symptoms as those with celiac disease and may wish to avoid gluten, they do not experience an autoimmune response or the small intestine damage seen in those individuals with celiac disease.
