Test Overview & Methodology

The Gliadin Deamidated Antibody IgG test is a highly specific serological assay for celiac disease, detecting IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides. This test is crucial for patients with selective IgA deficiency or those already on a gluten-free diet, providing 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity with rapid same-day reporting in our DHA-accredited lab. The methodology uses advanced ELISA/EIA with standardized controls.

UAE Compliance	DHA Licensed, ISO 9001:2015 Certified	Varies

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

Dr. Ajay Singh (General Practitioner, DHA Registration ID: 36234132) notes: “A positive gliadin deamidated IgG must be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and duodenal histology. Never initiate a gluten-free diet based solely on this result without specialist consultation. This test is particularly valuable for patients with known IgA deficiency.”

Important Advisory

⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Always inform your physician about any supplements or herbal remedies.

Pediatric Caution: For minors, testing is performed under strict UAE parental consent requirements per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What is the gliadin deamidated antibody IgG test used for?

This test detects IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin, a highly accurate marker for celiac disease in IgA-deficient patients. It is also used when IgA-based tests may give false negatives and for monitoring gluten-free diet compliance in selected cases.

2. Why choose IgG over IgA testing for celiac screening?

IgG testing is essential for patients with total IgA deficiency, which occurs in about 1 in 500 individuals and can cause false-negative IgA tests. The gliadin deamidated IgG assay offers high specificity and sensitivity, making it a reliable alternative in such populations.

3. Do I need to fast or stop gluten before this blood test?

No special preparation is required; you can eat normally. However, do not discontinue gluten intake unless your doctor advises so for biopsy. A normal gluten-containing diet ensures accurate antibody detection.

4. How is the sample collected and how long does it take?

A standard blood draw from a vein in your arm is performed. The procedure takes about 5 minutes. With our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service, a certified nurse visits your home between 8 AM and 11 PM. Results are available the same day if the sample is received by 9 AM.
