      Test result confusion high Immunoglobin A

      By Alibee · Posted

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.

      Welcome to the forum, @Alibee! The Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA (aka, tTG-IGA) is a blood antibody test designed to detect the antibodies produced  by celiac disease. It is the most popular single test ordered by physicians for this purpose but there are several others that could have been ordered. This test was negative in your case. The Immunoglobin A (aka, "total IGA") is not a test for celiac disease per se but is used to check for IGA deficiency. If the person being tested for celiac disease is IGA deficient, this may produce false negatives in the tTG-IGA test. You are not IGA deficient so this is not an issue in your case. Some people who actually have celiac disease are seronegative, meaning the usual antibodies associated with celiac disease inflammation of the small bowel lining are not being produced by the immune system and don't show up in the blood tests.  The rash on your hands you speak of, can you describe the appearance of the rash? Does it have little pustules in the center of the pimples? There is a skin manifestation of celiac disease known as dermatitis herpetiformis (Dermatitis Herpetiformis) and it has a characteristic appearance with pustules in the center of the bumps. It sounds like you may be aware of dermatitis herpetiformis. Do you have other symptoms that correlate with celiac disease? What motivated you or what led to you being tested for celiac disease?

      My insurance didn’t cover testing but my results came back as normal but high for Immunoglobin A. I added the notes below. I have gluten rashes on my hands that go away when I take gluten out of my diet. What do these results mean? They didn’t give me much info and I’d love some help.  thank you.  Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA NORMAL Your Result <1.0 Immunoglobin A Current Result Aa HIGH  342 mg/dL Desired Range 47-310 mg/dL
