Test Details:
The gliadin deamidated antibody IgA test is a blood test that measures the level of IgA antibodies specific to deamidated gliadin peptides in the blood. Gliadin is a protein found in wheat and other grains, and deamidation is a process that occurs during digestion.
In individuals with celiac disease, the immune system mistakenly recognizes gliadin as a threat and produces antibodies against it. The deamidated gliadin antibody IgA test is commonly used as a screening tool for celiac disease. It is more specific and sensitive than other celiac disease tests, such as the traditional gliadin antibody test.
The presence of elevated levels of IgA antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptides suggests an immune response to gluten and indicates a possible diagnosis of celiac disease. However, it is important to note that this test alone is not sufficient to diagnose celiac disease definitively. A positive result should be followed up with further testing, such as endoscopy and biopsy of the small intestine, to confirm the diagnosis.
Additionally, false negatives can occur in individuals with IgA deficiency, a condition in which the body does not produce enough IgA antibodies.
Overall, the gliadin deamidated antibody IgA test is a useful tool in the diagnosis of celiac disease, but it should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and tests for a comprehensive evaluation.
