Celiac Profile
Genova Diagnostics Test Code: 1018
The Celiac Profile is a blood test that uses widely accepted immunologic biomarkers to aid in the diagnosis of Celiac disease (CD). The markers include Total IgA, Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (tTG IgA) and IgG (tTG IgG), Anti-Deamidated Gliadin IgA (DGP IgA) and IgG (DGP IgG), and reflex Anti-Endomysial IgA (EMA IgA).
Celiac disease is defined as an autoimmune enteropathy of the small intestine, caused by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically pre-disposed individuals. In susceptible individuals, gluten ingestion generates an inflammatory reaction predominantly centered in the upper parts of the small intestine. This mucosal injury will eventually reduce the intestinal absorptive area and interfere with uptake of micronutrients.
