About the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (Coeliac) (Venous)**
The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (Coeliac) (Venous)** is an individual blood test offered at our private clinic in London. A venous blood is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 2 days" and are delivered securely via email.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This immune response can damage the lining of the small intestine, affecting nutrient absorption. Coeliac UK estimates that coeliac disease affects approximately 1 in 100 people in the UK, though many remain undiagnosed. Blood testing for coeliac disease typically measures tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies and may include endomysial antibodies (EMA) and total IgA. For accurate results, it is important to be consuming gluten-containing foods regularly for at least 6 weeks before the test.
Who May Consider This Test
The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (Coeliac) (Venous)** may be relevant for a range of individuals. The following are common reasons people choose to have this test:
- Individuals experiencing persistent digestive symptoms such as bloating or diarrhoea
- Those with a first-degree relative diagnosed with coeliac disease
- People with iron deficiency anaemia that has not responded to supplementation
- Individuals with other autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes
- Anyone who suspects they may react to gluten-containing foods
How to Prepare
Continue eating gluten-containing foods
For accurate results, you should be eating gluten-containing foods (e.g. bread, pasta) regularly for at least 6 weeks before the test.
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Good hydration helps make veins easier to locate and can make the blood draw quicker and more comfortable.
Continue your regular medications
Unless specifically advised otherwise by your doctor, continue taking your prescribed medications as normal before the test.
