The Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of specific antibodies in the blood that are associated with autoimmune disorders such as celiac disease. It measures the level of IgG antibodies targeting tTG, an enzyme found in the lining of the small intestine. This test helps healthcare providers determine if an individual is experiencing an immune reaction to gluten or if they have an increased risk of celiac disease, enabling them to provide appropriate treatment and dietary recommendations.

The tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG), IgA class, is the primary, highly sensitive, and specific blood test. It is the sole test endorsed by both the American College of Gastroenterology and the American Gastroenterology Association for celiac disease detection in individuals aged over 2 years. A positive result can also serve to monitor the condition and assess the efficacy of treatment. (Despite the inclusion of "tissue" in its name, this test is conducted using a blood sample.)

testing is typically carried out in a healthcare provider's office, hospital, or laboratory setting. These tests are typically initiated by a physician, although they may also be accessible at a walk-in lab without a doctor's requisition.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition distinguished by an abnormal immune reaction to gluten, a protein present in wheat, as well as related dietary proteins found in rye and barley. This immune response takes place in individuals with a genetic predisposition to the disease, and the consumption of gluten-containing products leads to immune-related damage to the small intestine.
The cost of a tTG antibody test can fluctuate, influenced by variables such as the testing location and whether you have health insurance.

Very happy with my experience at Lilium, the testing process was extremely efficient and hassle free. I ran into an issue and customer service was incredible, truly a pleasure to see there are great companies like this one. Would work for them.

Incredibly efficient. Very kind staff, our appointment was at 9:15 and by 9:17 we were in our car on our way back. The place is very clean, with proper seating (having a screen between every 4 seats). Amazing price in comparison to other places. 10/10 would recommend!
