What are the prerequisites for the test TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test

  • There are no specific prerequisites for the TTG-IgA test.
  • However, it is recommended that individuals should be on a gluten-containing diet for accurate results.
  • Individuals should inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are taking, as these may interfere with the test results.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also inform their healthcare provider before taking the test.

What are the measure values for the test TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test

  • Normal: Less than 20 U/mL
  • Weak positive: 20-30 U/mL
  • Moderate positive: 30-100 U/mL
  • Strong positive: Greater than 100 U/mL

What does this test TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test identify?

TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test

The TTG-IgA test is used to identify antibodies in the blood that are associated with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When a person with celiac disease consumes gluten, their immune system produces antibodies that attack the lining of the small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage.

The TTG-IgA test specifically looks for antibodies to tissue transglutaminase, an enzyme that is involved in the inflammatory response in the small intestine. Elevated levels of TTG-IgA antibodies in the blood indicate that the immune system is reacting to gluten and can help diagnose celiac disease.

Why is this test TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test taken?

Why is the TTG-IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase) Test taken?

The TTG-IgA test is taken to diagnose celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine. In individuals with celiac disease, consuming gluten triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients.

The TTG-IgA test specifically measures the levels of tissue transglutaminase antibodies in the blood. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an immune response to gluten, which is a key marker for celiac disease.

It is important to diagnose celiac disease early to prevent complications such as nutritional deficiencies, osteoporosis, and other autoimmune disorders. The TTG-IgA test is one of the primary tests used to screen for celiac disease.
