Test Details:
The GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test is a blood test used to diagnose and monitor celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The test measures the levels of IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP) in the blood.
Deamidated gliadin peptides are modified forms of gliadin that have been altered to increase their sensitivity and specificity in detecting celiac disease. Elevated levels of IgG antibodies against DGP indicate an immune response to gluten and suggest the presence of celiac disease.
This test is particularly useful in cases where IgA antibodies (another type of antibody commonly tested for celiac disease) may be deficient or unreliable. However, it is important to note that the GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test is not a definitive diagnostic test for celiac disease. It is usually used in conjunction with other tests, such as the tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody test and the endomysial antibody (EMA) test, as part of a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably a gastroenterologist, for a proper interpretation of the test results and for a definitive diagnosis of celiac disease.
