Need help interpreting blood results!

[Sebastian95]

Hello,

I was just looking for some help interpreting my blood results. My celiac panel had a note from the lab that states “no serological evidence found of celiac”. But my IgA was high 378 with a rang of 47-310. Can this mean celiac? I was told yea but I’m not sure. 

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Is that your tTg-IgA result? Or just the IgA? Usually celiac panels do an IgA test to see if you're deficient in IgA. If you are deficient in IgA, the tissue transglutaminase tests might give you a false negative and other blood tests may be required.

What were your other test results?

Thanks for the reply!

so the celiac panel when i look at the results are: 

The one mentioned above which is high but then I also have tTg which is in range with <1 with a range of <15 and states “antibody not detected”

please let me know if I’m missing anything!

Were you eating gluten regularly before the test?

Yes absolutely, i eat bread almost everyday and even wheat bread sometimes

Did you have any other antibody tests done like the DPG?

 So when i look at the tests this is all that was tested it does say celiac panel. 

It says “celiac disease comp panel w/Gliadin AB (IGG) 

“No serological evidence for celiac is present. tTg may normalize in individuals with celiac disease”

Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA: normal <1 range of <15. Antibody not detected

Immunoglobin A: Hight 378 range 47-310

thats all i see under celiac panel testing, there were other tests but not part of celiac

I would suggest the complete Celiac Disease panel.

Anemia and Diabetes can cause false negatives, so can having Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I'm a big fan of genetic testing.
