Tissue Transglutaminase, IgG Testing

$69.00

Description: Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG), IgG testing may be used to detect antibodies that may help diagnose celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The body produces two types of antibodies common in celiac disease: immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). The tTG, IgG antibody is helpful in diagnosing celiac disease when there are symptoms of celiac disease but the tTG, IgA test comes back negative. Turnaround time for the tTG, IgG test is typically 1-2 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 tTG IgG 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.
