Ordering Recommendation

Acceptable reflexive screening test for celiac disease. Positive screen results reflex to IgA and IgG antibody testing for tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG) and deaminated gliadin peptide antibody (DGP). Preferred screening test is Celiac Disease Reflexive Cascade (2008114) or Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody, IgA (0097709) testing.

Interpretive Data

Refer to individual components.


Component Interpretation
Celiac Disease Dual Antigen Screen 19 Units or less




20 Units or greater
Negative - No significant level of detectable IgA or IgG antibodies
against human tissue transglutaminase or gliadin peptide.



Positive - Presence of IgA and/or IgG antibodies against human tissue
transglutaminase and/or gliadin peptide; suggests possibility of certain
gluten sensitive enteropathies such as celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.

Compliance Category

FDA

Note

The Celiac Disease Dual Antigen Screen is a combined antibody assay for tissue transglutaminase and deamidated gliadin-derived peptide antibodies, IgA and IgG.

If Celiac Disease Dual Antigen Screen is 20 Units or greater, then tTG IgA and Gliadin Peptide IgA will be added. If tTG IgA and Gliadin Peptide IgA are negative, tTG IgG and Gliadin Peptide IgG will be added. Additional charges apply.
