What is a positive igg value for celiac disease?

A positive immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody test result for celiac disease typically indicates the presence of antibodies targeting tissue transglutaminase (tTG), which is an enzyme involved in the immune response associated with celiac disease.

The cut-off value for a positive tTG-IgG test may vary slightly between different laboratories and testing methods. Generally, an IgG value above a specific cut-off is considered positive and may indicate an increased likelihood of celiac disease.

However, it's important to note that a positive tTG-IgG test result alone does not confirm celiac disease. Further testing, such as an upper endoscopy with biopsy of the small intestine, is usually recommended to establish a definitive diagnosis of celiac disease. Your doctor will evaluate your overall clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and biopsy results to make an accurate diagnosis.
