Gliadin Antibody testing is ordered to aid in the diagnosis of Celiac Disease or other conditions related to gluten sensitivity such as Dermatitis Herpetiformis. This test looks for two types of antibodies which develop in people who have Celiac Disease in response to Gliadin, a component of products which contain gluten. The Gliadin Antibody Profile looks for Deamidated Gliadin Antibody, IgA and Deamidated Gliadin Antibody, IgG.
Detection of antibodies to gliadin, one of the major protein components of gluten, is a sensitive assay useful in diagnosing celiac disease.
