{"product_id":"transglutaminase-iga-2016","title":"Transglutaminase IgA","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaecal anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies indicate a reaction of the immune system to the tissue transglutaminase enzyme produced by the body when gluten is ingested, leading to an autoimmune reaction that may destroy the intestinal lining or other tissues in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStool analysis for antibodies against gluten-related antigens may be a more sensitive assessment to gluten\/immune reactions than serum antibody assessments. Positive faecal anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA (produced in situ by the intestinal mucosal) result from a specific immune reaction to gluten in the digestive tract, and may be present in the absence of similar antibodies in serum, especially in the absence of the typical coeliac disease-related damage to the intestinal tract (i.e., villous atrophy). This represents the immune\/inflammatory response to gluten that may be ongoing without any apparent damage to the gut or without any elevated serum antibody titres. Intestinal gluten antibody assessments may be a more accurate method of detecting gluten intolerance reactions, and may reflect such immune reaction before, or in the absence of any traditional serum evaluations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microbiome Health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stool Test Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e CI05.34.01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e FEIA (Fluorescence immunoassay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 Business Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTransglutaminase IgA - gluten sensitivity marker\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon clinical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gastrointestinal-and-Digestive-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGastrointestinal and Digestive Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBloating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Other-Health-Conditions.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther Health Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiarrhoea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlatulence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood sensitivities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndigestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIrritable Bowel Syndrome\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Skin-and-Dermatological-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSkin and Dermatological Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEczema, Psoriasis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2016-%E2%80%93TRANSGLUTAMINASE-IgA-.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2016-Faecal-Transglutaminase.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
