Test Overview
Multiplex Flow Immunoassay
Marker of celiac disease associated with gluten-sensitive enteropathy or dermatitis herpetiformis. A positive result indicates the presence of Gliadin IgG antibodies and suggests the possibility of certain gluten sensitive enteropathies such as celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. In treated patients known to express IgA antibodies, gliadin IgA antibody levels represent a better indicator of dietary compliance than gliadin IgG antibody concentrations.
Negative (0-14 U/mL)
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
IgG antibody is more sensitive but less specific than IgA antibody. Since IgA deficiency is relatively common among celiac patients, the combined use of IgA and IgG antibodies is recommended for diagnosis.
