Test Code GLABP Gliadin (Deamidated) Antibodies Evaluation, IgG and IgA, Serum
Reporting Name
Gliadin (Deamidated) Ab, Eval, SPerforming Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in RochesterUseful For
Assessment of deaminated gliadin IgA and IgG antibodies for evaluating patients suspected of having celiac disease, including patients with compatible clinical symptoms, patients with atypical symptoms, and individuals at increased risk (family history, previous diagnosis with associated disorder, positivity for HLA DQ2 and/or DQ8)
Monitoring response to a gluten-free diet in patients with celiac disease.
Ordering Guidance
Cascade testing is recommended for celiac disease. Cascade testing ensures that testing proceeds in an algorithmic fashion. The following cascades are available; select the appropriate one for your specific patient situation.
-CDCOM / Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade, Serum and Whole Blood: complete testing including HLA DQ
-CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade, Serum: complete serology testing excluding HLA DQ
-CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade, Serum and Whole Blood: for patients already adhering to a gluten-free diet
To order individual tests, see Celiac Disease Diagnostic Testing Algorithm.
