Short Description

Ingestion of Gliadin peptides contained in wheat, rye and barley induce immune mediated inflammation of small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals with Gluten sensitive enteropathy / Celiac disease. This disease is more common in first and second degree relatives of patients with Celiac disease, individuals with Down Syndrome, Turner syndrome, Williams syndrome, Selective IgA deficiency and Autoimmune disorders. Usage of Deamidated molecule increases the specificity and sensitivity of the assay.

GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Cost

For individuals who suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease, consuming foods containing gluten can cause severe health issues. Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. When gluten enters the gut of an individual with gluten intolerance, it triggers an autoimmune response, causing damage to the small intestine and leading to a range of symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue.

To diagnose gluten intolerance or celiac disease, doctors often recommend a blood test known as the GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test. In this blog post, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of this test offered by DNA Labs India.

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease

The symptoms of gluten intolerance or celiac disease can vary from person to person. Some common symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Joint pain
• Muscle cramps
• Nausea or vomiting
• Skin rash or hives
• Unintended weight loss

If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming gluten-containing foods, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further testing.

Diagnosis of Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease

The GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test is a blood test used to diagnose gluten intolerance or celiac disease. This test measures the level of IgG antibodies in the blood that react with gliadin, a protein found in gluten. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate a positive result, indicating gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

The test is typically done as a part of a panel of tests that includes other celiac disease-related antibodies like IgA antibodies, anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies, and anti-endomysial antibodies. If the test results are positive, further testing like an endoscopy or biopsy may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Cost of GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG Test

The cost of the GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test at DNA Labs India is INR 1989. This cost includes the test kit, sample collection, and analysis. The test results are typically available within 2-3 working days.

It is important to note that this test is not covered by insurance, and the cost may vary based on the lab where the test is performed.

Conclusion

The GLIADIN DEAMIDATED ANTIBODY IgG test is a useful tool for diagnosing gluten intolerance or celiac disease. If you experience any symptoms related to gluten intolerance, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further testing. DNA Labs India offers this test at an affordable cost, providing individuals with a quick and accurate diagnosis.
