Understanding Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA in Sonipat
What is Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA in Sonipat?
A Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA test is used to help diagnose celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Available at an affordable price in Sonipat with Tata 1 mg, this test detects the presence of specific antibodies called tissue transglutaminase-A (tTG-IgA) that the body produces in response to gluten ingestion. This test helps assess the immune response against gluten, helping doctors to tailor appropriate treatment plans and management, including adherence to a gluten-free diet.
This test is recommended for individuals who are suspected of having celiac disease due to symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, malabsorption issues, or other associated conditions. Also, this test can be done in those with a family history of celiac disease or having risk factors such as diabetes, thyroid problems, etc.
No special preparation is required before undertaking this test. However, to diagnose celiac disease, the test should be performed before eliminating gluten from the diet.
What does Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA measure?
A Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA test measures the presence of specific antibodies in the blood. These antibodies, specifically immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies, are produced in response to the tissue transglutaminase(tTG) enzyme which is involved in the body’s reaction to gluten.
Elevated levels of tTG IgA antibodies in the blood indicate an immune response to gluten, helping doctors confirm the presence of celiac disease or assess gluten sensitivity. A Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA test provides important information for the diagnosis and management of conditions associated with gluten-related disorders.
