The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Test checks your blood for antibodies linked to celiac disease. You may also see it listed as tTG IgA or anti-tTG IgA. Book at participating labs on LabFinder and choose a time that works for you.
This test, also called tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody, looks for IgA antibodies your immune system may make in response to gluten. Higher levels can point to celiac disease and help your doctor decide on next steps.
Common reasons: long-lasting belly pain, bloating, or diarrhea, iron-deficiency anemia without a clear cause, weight loss or poor growth in kids, itchy rash called dermatitis herpetiformis, or a family history of celiac disease. Doctors may also order it when screening for gluten-related problems.
Bring your lab order and ID, then check in. A tech cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood. A bandage goes on and you can head out. Plan for about 15 to 30 minutes at the lab from arrival to finish.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. For best results, do not stop eating gluten unless your doctor tells you to.
Diet: keep your usual diet that includes gluten unless your doctor says otherwise. Medications and supplements: bring a full list and mention high-dose biotin. Hydration: drink water so veins are easier to find. Clothing: wear sleeves that roll up. Follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, nutrient problems from poor absorption, long-lasting diarrhea or bloating, unexplained anemia, and growth or weight concerns in children. Results are read in context. Your doctor will review your history and symptoms before suggesting next steps.
