Common Tests for Diagnosis of Celiac Disease: *
The following tests are ordered and used by physicians in diagnosis of Celiac Disease. These tests are commonly described in medical literature for the diagnosis of Celiac Disease. The diagnosis of Celiac Disease follows an intestinal biopsy.
Genetic Test for Screening out Celiac Disease (not used for diagnosis);
· HLA-DQ2& HLA-DQ8:
- If both are negative, CD can be ruled out.
- If either one is positive, further tests are required for diagnosis.
Blood Test as indicator of Celiac Disease (Intestinal Biopsy needed for diagnosis );
· EMA (IgA endomysial antibodies): If tested +, virtually 100% you have CD. However some people are IgA deficient.
· tTG (IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies):
· IgG tissue transglutaminase (used in people with IgA deficiency):
· Total IgA antibodies (identifies people with IgA deficiency):
· DPG (deamidated gliadin peptides)
