About this test
Key Aspects of the Anti-tTG IgG Test
- Purpose: It serves as a reliable alternative or complementary test to the standard Anti-tTG IgA test, especially for patients (about 2-3% of celiac cases) who have total IgA deficiency.
- Significance: Elevated IgG anti-tTG levels suggest active celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
- Disease Association: It assists in diagnosing celiac disease, characterized by symptoms like chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue.
- Monitoring: Used to monitor a patient's adherence to a gluten-free diet.
- Results: Results are classified as negative, weakly positive, or positive. A positive test often necessitates further investigation, such as a biopsy of the small intestine to confirm diagnosis.
When is this test done?
Doctors typically order this test if a patient shows symptoms of celiac disease but tests negative for the more common tTG-IgA, or if they are known to have an underlying IgA deficiency.
