Immunoglobulin G - Result: 1177 - Reference Range: 600-1640 mg/dL - Out Of Range

This result is just looking at total IgG, one type of antibody, but not to any specific antigen.  This test is not looking for celiac disease. The celiac disease results are not listed, they are pending.

I’m a little surprised this was ordered.  Doctors often order a total IgA test, since the most common antibodies increased in celiac disease are in the IgA class.

I think the Immunoglobulin G test referenced here is another name for the DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) blood test for celiac disease (see the Other Names for the DGP-IgG Test section):

   If that is the case, which you should clarify with your doctor, then the results could mean that it's possible that you have celiac disease:

Quote

The sensitivity of the DGP-IgG test is reported to range from 75% to 85%, which means it can correctly identify individuals with the condition in about 75% to 85% of cases. The specificity of the DGP-IgG test is reported to range from 75% to 95%, which means it can correctly identify individuals without the condition in about 75% to 95% of cases. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%.

The numbers that are listen could mean celiac? I did call and he said that is another test they use for celiac but didn’t discuss results with me 

Like test results I mean by numbers. Thank you for your help.

There are lots of names for these tests, unfortunately each lab uses them in different ways. DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) blood test for celiac disease might be referred to as an Immunoglobulin G test, per the link I shared, but it would be best for you to clarify this with your lab or doctor.

The test result you just posted Immunoglobulin A, could be the Gliadin Peptide Antibody IgG (Immunoglobulin A), also know as the DGP-IgA test. If so, your result looks like it is high as well at 302, but again, you should discuss this in more detail with your doctor.

Both of the posted tests have units of mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). Those are total IgG and IgA, NOT celiac antibodies.  Celiac antibodies don’t have units of weight per volume.

Thanks for the clarification...but what could those results be then? If I understand @Nicole boling's original post, she is expecting results for a celiac disease blood screening.

Total IgA is reasonable.  I don’t know why the doctor ordered total IgG. Hopefully actual celiac results will be available soon!

@Nicole boling, sorry about all of the back and forth here about the test results you shared. It appears that all of your results are not in, and these apparently are not the celiac disease results, so please share with us what you find out from your doctor, or other results.

      So worried about 11 year old daughter

      Hello again @kate g I wonder if you are posting from the UK?  We get a lot of people from the UK posting on this forum because I don't think Coeliac UK have their own. (It is an excellent organisation, by the way, and well worth joining for its gluten-free shopping guide/app.) I ask as in my own case, the only NHS tests I was offered  for deficiencies were B12 and iron.  I suspect, if you are in the UK, you will have only been offered those on the NHS and the iron test came back deficient, hence your daughter being put on a liquid iron supplement.  If it is Floravital, that's great, it is gluten free, but be careful as the packaging looks very much like Floradix, which contains gluten.   I ended up seeing a private, highly qualified private nutritionist and even she didn't offer me a deficiency test, other than one for Vitamin D.   Without any evidence, she put me onto a general supplement which gave safe daily levels of a wide range of vitamins which did help. For heavier supplementation, one has to always be careful of over-supplementing which can be dangerous, so it would be fantastic if you can get your GP/gastroenterologist to test for other deficiencies, then monitor the situation. Regarding your daughter's high tTG levels, I am sure that in the past few years someone did post with very high figures on this forum, in the thousands, but I cannot find the post now, of course! When I was diagnosed the local NHS pathology labs were reporting that blood test with a cut off at 100, so one only ever knew as much as that. For the time being, I do hope the school is being supportive?   Cristiana

      Why the iron?  Have the doctors tested for vitamin D.  Is she eating enough eggs, milk, meat? Start her on the Thiamine today.    The minimum for a child of four years is 0.6 milligrams.  That's 600 mcg.  That is 3X the minimum folate (200 mcg).  fThere is no established upper limit for thiamin intake in humans because there is no evidence of adverse effects from high thiamine intake. There is plenty of evidence something bad IS happening now. Thiamine is NOT a medical issue, it is a food issue.  The World Health Organization recommends daily oral doses of 10 mg thiamin for a week, followed by 3–5 mg/daily for at least 6 weeks, to treat mild thiamin deficiency [23]. The recommended treatment for severe deficiency consists of 25–30 mg intravenously in infants and 50–100 mg in adults, then 10 mg daily administered intramuscularly for approximately 1 week, followed by 3–5 mg/day oral thiamin for at least 6 weeks. Thiamin Fact Sheet for Health Professionals there is a list of foods with thimin content,  Breakfast cereals, fortified with 100% of the DV for thiamin, 1 serving1.2 mg 100% I think waiting a long time to see a doctor before giving more thiamin is a mistake and puts her in unnecessary danger due to a beauracracy. Ideally get tested today, start tomorrow but wait weeks, while she suffers?  I could not do it.

      Looks like what was not done that should have been done was Total IGA. If total IGA is low, it can drive other IGA scores down toward the negative range. Was he avoiding wheat-based foods by any chance when the blood draw was taken?
