The Celiac Antibody Test is a crucial diagnostic tool aimed at identifying gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. This test examines the presence of specific antibodies—Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG)—that the immune system produces in response to gluten, specifically for Tissue Trans-glut-aminase (h-tTG) and De-amidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP).
The test utilizes a finger-prick method, which is simple and minimally invasive, to collect a blood sample. This sample is then evaluated through a highly sensitive FDA-approved immunoassay, ensuring accurate and reliable results. In addition, the testing service offers the opportunity to check for specific genes associated with gluten-sensitive enteropathy via a separate celiac genetic test.
