Know more about this test

The tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test helps diagnose celiac disease, a condition where the body reacts to gluten. This test checks for IgG antibodies in the blood that are made when the body reacts to an enzyme called tissue transglutaminase (tTG), which is involved in normal protein processes. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in New Delhi.

Doctors may suggest the tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test when there are symptoms of celiac disease, such as stomach pain, bloating, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, failure to thrive (in children), anemia, dermatitis herpetiformis (an itchy, blistery rash), etc. This test is particularly used as an alternative for people who have an IgA deficiency, as they may not get accurate results. It can also be done to monitor the effectiveness of a gluten-free diet. Additionally, it is useful for screening individuals at higher risk, such as those with a family history of celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions.

No special preparation is required before undertaking the tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test. For accurate diagnosis, continue to eat foods that contain gluten for a time period, such as several weeks, before testing only if your doctor advises. The adult patient eats high amounts of gluten (usually 8-10 gm of gluten per day, equivalent to approximately 4-6 slices of bread a day) for 6-8 weeks. This gluten dose can be gradually built up over the first week. A repeat celiac screening test is done after the gluten challenge. This type of challenge can be poorly tolerated by patients, and thus, some may be resistant to this approach.

Understanding tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody,

Tissue transglutaminase is an enzyme in the body that is involved in normal protein processes. In people with celiac disease, the immune system mistakenly creates antibodies against this enzyme. These are called anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies and are used to help diagnose celiac disease.

While IgA anti-tTG is the usual first test, the tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, is mainly helpful for patients with IgA deficiency to avoid false-negative results.

No special preparation is required before undertaking the tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test. For accurate diagnosis, continue to eat foods that contain gluten for a time period, such as several weeks, before testing only if advised by the doctor. The adult patient eats high amounts of gluten (usually 8-10 gm of gluten per day, equivalent to approximately 4-6 slices of bread a day) for 6-8 weeks. This gluten dose can be gradually built up over the first week. A repeat celiac screening test is done after the gluten challenge. This type of challenge can be poorly tolerated by patients, and thus, some may be resistant to this approach.

Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation. Therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results. The insights from the tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test help doctors diagnose and manage celiac disease effectively.

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

What does tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, measure?

The tTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) - IgG antibody, test measures IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) enzyme, representing an autoimmune response triggered by gluten in celiac disease. This test is specifically valuable for the 2-3% of celiac patients with selective IgA deficiency, for whom standard IgA testing would be unreliable.

Elevated IgG anti-tTG levels suggest celiac disease in IgA-deficient individuals. A conclusive diagnosis requires additional investigations.

Early detection and treatment can prevent complications, including iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiencies, growth retardation in children, osteoporosis, and increased lymphoma risk.
