Antibody Levels Transglutaminase

Second daughter got blood test with outrageously high Transglutaminase igA 734 and she is not symptomatic.    Anyone know what the average range is for those with celiac disease?    Our other daugher was 99 and symptomatic.  Wondering if this is a lab error.   Don't think this is physiologically possible.   Thanks.  Mayumi

Was it a different lab?  A lot of labs just stop "counting" at 100.  Mine just said ">100".  

 

She probably has symptoms, you just don't realize they are from Celiac.

I know different labs have different numbers. For instance our local lab I think stops at 250.  That’s what by son’s number was when he was first tested. When tested a second time at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto he was in the 700’s. it’s a bit more complicated than that I think. The analogy they used with me is like a pregnancy blood test.  Some people have low numbers  and others really high. Bottom line they are both preganant. Hope that makes sense!

My diagnosis was shocking as I had no gastrointestinal symptoms at all!  There are over 200 symptoms attributed to celiac disease.  Some are even hidden.  Two months after my diagnosis I fractured my back doing nothing.  Unknown to everyone,  I had osteoporosis.  ?
