Description:
Celiac Disease Antibody Blood Screen (Labcorp)
This Celiac Disease testing package looks for antibodies which typically develop in patients with Celiac Disease.
This package includes:
- Deamidated Gliadin Antibody IgA
- Tissue Transglutaminase IgA
- Serum IgA Quantification
Some Celiac patients may have a condition which results in minimal IgA antibody production. Patients with IgA deficiency might show false negatives on IgA antibody tests and require other types of testing for an accurate diagnosis.
Celiac testing is advisable for patients who are experiencing symptoms associated with Celiac Disease or are aware of family members who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.
This package contains two commonly ordered screening tests for Celiac Disease. If a person’s test results indicate they are IgA deficient, they may wish to order a test which detects different types of antibodies such as the Celiac Disease Complete Panel.
A final diagnosis of Celiac Disease should be confirmed by a doctor and may require an intestinal biopsy. For more information on Celiac Disease Testing, please visit the Celiac Disease Foundation at www.celiac.org.
Turnaround time for the Celiac Disease Antibody Screen is typically 1-3 business days.
