What Is a TTG IgA Test in Indore?
A TTG IgA Test in Indore is a blood test that measures Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibodies in your blood to detect coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts abnormally to gluten — a protein found in foods such as wheat, rye and barley — damaging the lining of the small intestine.
Doctors recommend this test to confirm coeliac disease, detect gluten intolerance, or monitor recovery after starting a gluten-free diet. The test requires a small blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, and fasting is not required.
What Does a TTG IgA Test Measure in Indore?
The TTG IgA Test in Indore helps identify abnormal immune responses to gluten. It provides valuable insights into:
- Diagnosing Coeliac Disease: Detects antibodies that indicate damage to the intestinal lining caused by gluten exposure.
- Monitoring Gluten-Free Diet Compliance: Measures antibody levels to evaluate how well you’re responding to dietary changes.
- Assessing Gluten Sensitivity: Differentiates autoimmune coeliac disease from non-coeliac gluten intolerance.
- Evaluating Malabsorption Syndromes: Detects nutrient absorption problems related to intestinal inflammation.
- Assessing Autoimmune Activity: Helps diagnose IgA-mediated autoimmune conditions.
Who Should Consider a TTG IgA Test?
You should consider getting a TTG IgA Test in Indore if you:
- Have persistent diarrhoea, bloating, or abdominal pain after eating gluten
- Experience unexplained weight loss or chronic fatigue
- Have anaemia that doesn’t improve with iron supplements
- Suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin rash caused by gluten)
- Have a family history of coeliac disease or autoimmune disorders
- Notice malnutrition or growth delays in children
This test is also useful for people already on a gluten-free diet to monitor improvement and antibody normalisation.
What Is the Purpose of a TTG IgA Test?
The TTG IgA Test is performed to confirm or rule out coeliac disease and related gluten sensitivities. It helps doctors evaluate intestinal health, monitor treatment progress, and detect complications caused by untreated gluten intolerance.

Understanding Abnormal TTG IgA Test Results by Parameter
| Result Type | Possible Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive TTG IgA (> 8 AU/mL) | Indicates coeliac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy. |
| Borderline Values | May require repeat testing or additional tests such as tTG IgG or Endomysial Antibody. |
| Negative TTG IgA (< 8 AU/mL) | Suggests no active coeliac disease, but false negatives can occur in IgA deficiency. |
