Transglutaminase & Endomysial Results Question

[KLA7]

These results are negative right? There isn’t an actual value like all the other tests results had. 

 

Transglutaminase IgA

Value: < 20.0

Std. Range: < 20.0

 

Endomysial IgA

Value: < 1:10

Std Range: < 1:10

Correct, those results  look negative (not a doc). If you have symptoms you might want to get the rest  of the tests.

The full celiac panel includes:

TTG IGA
TTG IGG
DGP IGA
DGP IGG
EMA
IGA

You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies to confirm a celiac diagnosis.

I have had several TTG and EMA tests and have NEVER had a positive.  I only test positive to the DGP IgA test.  Weird, but true.  There is a reason why there are several celiac tests.  Did I mention that some celiacs are seronegative?  In that case, only an endoscopy would provide a diagnosis (really the endoscopy is still considered the gold standard in celiac disease testing even with some positives on the celiac blood panel).  

You can not rule out celiac disease yet!
