TTG- IgA (Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody)
The tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) antibody test is a blood test used to help diagnose celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption, by detecting antibodies against the enzyme tissue transglutaminase.
You must also know the tTG test normal range in the human body. If the antibody level is less than or equal to 3 U/mL, it is at an average level. And if it is 4-10 U/mL, it is at a weak positive range. Lastly, if it is 11 U/mL or more, your body is highly favorable to having celiac disease.
The tTG-IgA test will be positive in about 93% of patients with celiac disease who are on a gluten-containing diet. This refers to the test's sensitivity, which measures how correctly it identifies those with the disease. The same test will come back negative in about 96% of healthy people without celiac disease.
