Coeliac & Gluten Sensitivity Profile (Finger prick)

Intolerance and Allergy Blood Finger Stick DBS Turn Around Time: 12 Days
Recommended: Contact practitioner before placing order
Turn Around Time: 12 Days

Description

Coeliac disease (CD) is often undiagnosed. It is caused in genetically predisposed individuals by abnormal intestinal permeability and immune response to gluten, a protein complex found in wheat, barley, spelt and rye. The inflammatory autoimmune response damages the lining of the small bowel and is associated with diarrhoea, bloating, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, and systemic autoimmune conditions. Gluten sensitivity can cause similar symptoms but without the same level of tissue damage. The Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity profile from Doctor’s Data helps differentiate between CD and gluten sensitivity by evaluating IgA and IgG serum titers for deamidated gliadin peptide and gliadin.

Methodology

Chemiluminesent
Immunoassay

When should I use

If the patient is taking steroids, immunosuppressant medications or other medications that may suppress antibodies please check if it is appropriate for them to test.

Patients who have persistent skin conditions (rash) or ataxia, idiopathic neurological conditions, autoimmune arthritis/ thyroiditis, unexplained weight loss or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms that are not associated with enteropathogens
Symptomatic individuals that have tested positive for the HLA DQ2/DQ8 genotypes
Patients with symptoms or symptom exacerbation with dietary gluten or re-introduction of gluten after a trial elimination of gluten
Individuals that have a first degree relative with a diagnosis of CD
Any child with a history of 3 or more antibiotic-treated cases of gastroenteritis while less than 6 months of age
Patients on a gluten-inclusive diet who have Type I diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis or schizophrenia
Individuals on a gluten-inclusive diet who have other laboratory evidence that may be associated with CD:
Elevated liver function tests
Bone demineralization
Evidence of impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, iron, B12 or folic acid

Other Details

Other Test to Consider:
IMM11B Coeliac & Gluten Sensitivity Profile (serum) which also includes Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and IgG
  • Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA
  • Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG
  • Gliadin IgA
