The primary blood test for coeliac disease is tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA), though a small percentage of individuals with coeliac disease may test negative. If total IgA levels are low, the laboratory will automatically add DGP-IgG testing, as low IgA can make tTG-IgA unreliable, but this testing approach still doesn't detect all cases.
A positive result for either tTG-IgA or DGP-IgG supports a diagnosis of coeliac disease, but further testing and clinical consultation are necessary, and it is crucial to continue consuming gluten before testing to avoid false negatives.
