Need Help Re: Blood Work Results

Hello! I have extensive family history of celiac - both sisters and their children, as well as an uncle and cousin. I have been told that I am negative, however i'm not sure that my doctor is familiar enough with celiac to really be sure.

My blood work in 2009: IgA 51mg/dl & Celiac screen transglutinase antibody 6.3 ab/units

My blood work last week: IgA 64 mg/do & Celiac screen transglutinase antibody 8.6 ab/units

I am also 7 weeks pregnant and am concerned for baby - my one sister had a miscarriage due to malnutrition from celiac, which is what led to all of getting tested...

Just looking for some straightforward answers if there are any.

Thanks in advance!

- Tara

Different labs have different reference ranges for these tests, so it would help to interpret if you can post the ranges for those tests.

I have no idea what the normal ranges are...I tried searching on-line, but I couldn't seem to find anything. I will try calling the lab to find out tomorrow.

Thanks!

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
