    What is Anti Gliadin Deamidated Peptide antibody IgA Test?

    The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test is a blood test used to identify coeliac disease and other gluten-triggered autoimmune conditions, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin-related manifestation of coeliac disease). This test measures the levels of IgA antibodies targeting deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP), which is a highly specific and reliable marker for coeliac disease compared to older gliadin antibody tests.

    Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten ingestion triggers an immune attack on the small intestine, causing damage, nutrient malabsorption, anaemia, and other severe health concerns. IgA antibody testing is strongly advised for accurate diagnosis and effective disease management.

    The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test is particularly beneficial for diagnosing coeliac disease in individuals experiencing symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, and weight loss. It also plays a crucial role in monitoring adherence to a gluten-free diet in diagnosed patients and screening at-risk individuals, such as those with a family history of coeliac disease.

    For individuals in Hyderabad having gluten-related conditions like coeliac disease, scheduling a Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test at home is convenient and recommended.

    Anti Gliadin Deamidated Peptide antibody IgA Test Parameters

    The Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Antibody IgA test measures the presence of IgA antibodies that react to deamidated gliadin peptides. These peptides are altered fragments of gliadin, a protein found in gluten-rich grains like wheat, barley, and rye, which can provoke heightened immune responses in individuals with gluten-sensitivity disorders such as coeliac disease. Elevated levels of these antibodies are a strong indication of an abnormal immune reaction to gluten consumption. 1,5

    Anti Gliadin Deamidated Peptide antibody IgA Test Preparation

    Here’s what you need to know to prepare for the Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test at home:

    • Prerequisites

    No fasting is needed for the Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test. To ensure accurate results, maintain your regular diet, including gluten-containing foods, in the weeks leading up to the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA test can be performed at any hour of the day. 4

    • Who Should Get a Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA Test?

    Individuals experiencing coeliac disease symptoms such as chronic diarrhoea, significant weight loss, or difficulty absorbing nutrients should consider this test. It’s also suitable for patients on a gluten-free diet to verify adherence and for those with a family history of gluten-related autoimmune disorders. 1

    • Cautions Before Taking a Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody IgA Test

    Notify your doctor if you are currently taking any medications or have medical conditions that could affect the test results.

    Why Take the Anti Gliadin Deamidated Peptide antibody IgA Test?

    The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide Antibody test is an essential test for identifying coeliac disease. It also evaluates intestinal damage, tracks treatment progress, and ensures compliance with a gluten-free diet.

    You may need this test if you:

    • Have ongoing digestive issues like gas, diarrhoea, bloating, nausea, constipation, vomiting, or unexpected weight loss.

    • Experience symptoms unrelated to digestion, such as anxiety, fatigue, itchy and blistering skin rashes, depression, headaches, or irritability (in children).

    • Have a genetic predisposition to coeliac disease or autoimmune conditions like type 1 diabetes.

    • Want to monitor adherence to a gluten-free diet after being diagnosed with coeliac disease.

    • Need early screening for coeliac disease despite not showing symptoms, particularly if risk factors are present.

    Coeliac disease differs from gluten sensitivity or wheat allergies because it leads to chronic intestinal damage, making early detection and lifelong gluten avoidance crucial.
