Celiac Disease Complete Panel

Description:

Celiac disease is genetic, so if you have a family history of celiac disease, celiac blood tests can help identify the problem. Common symptoms of celiac disease in adults are:

• Fatigue
• Arthritis
• Canker sores
• Missed menstrual periods
• Anemia (iron deficiency)
• Itchy skin rash
• Seizures
• Bone loss

Celiac disease is triggered by a sensitivity to gluten (found in wheat, rye and barley). When sufferers of celiac disease consume gluten, the immune system reacts by blocking the small intestine's ability to properly absorb nutrients, resulting in malnutrition. Fortunately, celiac disease is commonly treated with a gluten-free diet.

The Celiac Disease Complete Panel may be used to help diagnose Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. This Celiac Disease test includes deamidated gliadin IgA, deamidated gliadin IgG, tissue transglutaminase IgA, tissue transglutaminase IgG and serum IgA quantitation. Turnaround time is typically 1-3 business days. (While antibody tests 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 disease 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.
