LaboratoryTissue transglutaminase IgA + Gliadin peptides IgA and IgG [Interpretation] in Serum Narrative
Definition
This term refers to the interpretation of results for Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and Gliadin peptide (DGP) IgA & IgG antibody levels in serum. Elevated levels of tTG IgA and DGP IgA & IgG antibodies are associated with autoimmune diseases, including Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis.
