Celiac Panel Results

I received my Celiac Panel results and they were as follows:

Tissutrans IgA 3

Gliadin IGG AB 29 (this one came back high)

Gliadin IGA AB 5

Should I be concerned about these numbers?

Also, everytime I eat, it goes right through me! I have had my gallbladder checked and it is fine.

Thanks,

Did your doctor think the numbers called for a biopsy?

Yes, yesterday after I saw him and told him my other symptoms. Is that okay?

I'm suspicious that both the IgA's game back low. He should have taken a total IgA to tell if those two tests were useful or not. Good luck with the biopsy! (Though you'll have to keep eating gluten for it. :-( )

I ditto Tiffany.

The total serum IgA needs to be done because that rules out IgA deficiency and if you have IgA deficiency then those tests were not accurate.

What is the total IgA? I thought I had that done??? who knows..all these tests are confusing :P

I have to have a colonscopy and an endoscopy on Tuesday :wacko:

Will my doc be able to tell right away if I have celiac disease?

Thanks :)

Total IgA is a measure of the total IgA antibodies in your blood stream. It helps determine if you're IgA deficient. Here's an analogy to explain why it's important:

Someone asks you if you want a drink, you say yes, they say how much of the glass you want filled. Well... if you don't know how big the glass is, you don't know what to tell them. If you say "half full", but it's a shot glass, you've got very little drink!

If you're IgA deficient, you don't have much at all in your body, so a lower than normal anti-gliandin IgA (which is specific for gliandin) doesn't mean much because your "glass" (your normal amount) is already much lower than normal.

      Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete, assuming, that is, one is forthcoming.  Can you post the actual reference ranges used by the lab for the tests to determine positive/negative/normal/high/low? Scales used by these labs are different from one place to the other so the raw numbers don't mean much without the scale used by the lab. There aren't industry standards for this. By the way, you probably won't be able to edit the original post so please post the extra info in new post. May we ask about the cancer you mentioned? There are some things that can elevate the antibody test scores, at least mildly, besides celiac disease.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me that otherwise are worrying me that my previous cancer is recurring.  Thank you for all of your expertise in this area! Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High)

      So, I would assume it means that if the risk of developing celiac disease in the general population is 1%, people with the DQ2 gene have a 10% risk of developing celiac disease. So, have you or your physician concluded that you have celiac disease?

      Here's the test result I was refering to.  I may not be understanding this correctly.

      Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes but only 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease, the genetic test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease, simply to establish the potential for developing it. Gene testing is usually done to rule out celiac disease vs. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In other words, if gluten consumption is definitely causing someone problems but they don't have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease then the diagnosis would be NCGS. We also know that having both DQ2 and DQ8 puts one at higher risk for developing celiac disease than having just one or the other. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it quantified as in "10x higher". Not sure what you mean by this.
