The Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody IgG test measures the level of tissue transglutaminase IgG antibodies can indicate a diagnosis of celiac disease, especially in individuals who are IgA deficient. If test results are moderately to strongly positive, a small intestinal biopsy is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For those with the condition, consuming gluten prompts an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients. Symptoms may include diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating, and anemia, with potential serious complications if untreated. In children, this malabsorption can hinder growth and development. While there is no cure, a strict gluten-free diet can effectively manage symptoms and promote intestinal healing.
