Celiac Disease Antibody Screen

$139.00

Description: Why get celiac blood testing? Celiac disease affects millions of Americans by interfering with the small intestine's ability to properly absorb nutrients, resulting in malnutrition no matter how much one eats. People with celiac disease often unknowingly aid in the disease's progression by eating gluten (a protein commonly found in wheat, rye and barley), which provokes the immune system to destroy villi - the component in the small intestine that's essential for nutrient absorption. Celiac Blood Tests from Request A Test is affordable and can help your doctor identify this condition that is commonly treatable by adopting a gluten-free diet. The Celiac Disease Antibody Screening may be used to help diagnose Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. This Celiac Blood Testing includes deamidated gliadin IgA, tissue transglutaminase IgA and serum IgA quantitation. Turnaround time is typically 1-3 business days. (While antibody screenings are highly accurate and assist or rule out diagnosis of celiac disease, a small intestine biopsy is the only way to confirm diagnosis.)

Requirements: This celiac blood test has no fasting requirements. Please note it is recommended that prior to taking this test, a regular diet including items that contain gluten should be followed for 2 weeks as a gluten-free diet may not provide an accurate representation of potential gluten sensitivity.
