Know More about TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE (tTG) ANTIBODY IgA
The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) Antibody Test is a blood test that helps diagnose celiac disease, a condition where the body reacts to gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye. It checks for specific antibodies made when gluten damages the small intestine. This test is important because it confirms the diagnosis, monitors treatment progress, and guides dietary changes like starting a gluten-free diet.
Process
- Blood is drawn from a vein in your arm by a trained medical professional.
- The draw sites are cleaned and a needle is inserted to draw blood into a tube.
- The blood sample is sent to a laboratory for the analysis to be performed with a special antibody test.
When To Get Tested
This test is suitable for people who have one or more of the following symptoms: chronic diarrhea, frequent bloating, fatigue, or recently noticed weight loss with no reason. This test also is a good idea for anyone who has a family history of autoimmune disease and is considering transplantation like a kidney or liver transplant.
Sample Requirements
A few milliliters of blood are adequate for the test.
Test Preparation
Although fasting is not needed for this test, it is important that you continue eating gluten foods before testing. Also tell your medical provider what medications you take.
Understanding Your Results
High levels of tTG-IgA may indicate celiac disease, but often need biopsy for confirmation. Low tTG-IgA concentrations are more likely to safely exclude an active disease; however, results should be reviewed by your doctor in conjunction with your clinical history and ongoing symptoms.
