Introduction

Anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (Anti-Ttg IgA) are frequently measured to diagnose and manage celiac disease. Elevated levels of these antibodies are a key marker in the assessment of gluten-related disorders.

Understanding Anti-Ttg IgA Antibodies

Anti-Ttg IgA antibodies target tissue transglutaminase, an enzyme found in the small intestine. This section explains their role in immune response, particularly in the context of celiac disease, and highlights normal versus elevated levels.

High Anti-Ttg IgA Levels: Indications and Implications

Elevated Anti-Ttg IgA levels typically suggest an autoimmune response, most commonly associated with celiac disease. Levels above 10 U/mL are often considered significant, necessitating further investigation.

Clinical Significance of High Anti-Ttg IgA Levels

High Anti-Ttg IgA levels serve as a diagnostic marker for celiac disease but may also indicate other autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. This section reviews their clinical applications and limitations.
