What does this test Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody IgG Test identify?

Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody IgG Test

This test identifies the presence of IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase, an enzyme found in the tissues of the body. Elevated levels of tTG antibodies in the blood are associated with autoimmune reactions against gluten, specifically in individuals with celiac disease. This test is used to aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in affected individuals.

Why is this test Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody IgG Test taken?

  • The Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody IgG Test is taken to help diagnose and monitor celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine.
  • People with celiac disease have an immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This immune response can lead to damage to the lining of the small intestine.
  • tTG is an enzyme that plays a role in the immune response to gluten. Antibodies to tTG can be detected in the blood of people with celiac disease.
  • The IgG form of the tTG antibody is one of the specific types of antibodies that can be measured in the blood to help diagnose celiac disease.
  • This test is often ordered when a person has symptoms of celiac disease, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue, or when a person has risk factors for celiac disease, such as a family history of the condition.
  • The results of the tTG Antibody IgG Test, along with other tests and clinical information, can help healthcare providers determine if a person has celiac disease and guide treatment decisions.
