Interpretive
| Reference Range: |
Positive test results for deamidated gliadin antibodies, IgA or IgG, are consistent with the diagnosis of celiac disease. Negative results indicate a decreased likelihood of celiac disease. Decreased levels of deamidated gliadin antibodies, IgA or IgG, following treatment with a gluten-free diet are consistent with adherence to the diet. Persistence of high levels of antibodies following dietary treatment suggests poor adherence to the diet or the presence of refractory disease.
