Understanding Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody - IgA in Bangalore
What is Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody - IgA in Bangalore?
A Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody - IgA test helps to identify the presence of specific antibodies in the blood associated with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten-containing foods. It helps assess the immune response to gluten, helping in the assessment and management of celiac disease.
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.
