CELIAC DISEASE & ANTI-DGP ANTIBODIES HOME TEST KIT
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by consuming gliadin, a protein found in gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, rye, kamut, spelt, oats, and triticale. This condition causes inflammation in the small intestine.
Gliadin is a water-soluble protein that acts like "glue," helping foods keep their shape and can pass through the intestinal lining. Studies show that people with celiac disease produce specific antibodies (anti-DGP IgA and IgG) against gliadin deamidated peptides. These antibodies, along with transglutaminase testing, are highly accurate in diagnosing celiac disease.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
CELIAC TEST is useful for anyone who wants to check for any gluten sensitivity, which must then be confirmed by a specialist.
In particular, it is addressed to all those who have symptoms related to celiac disease, such as abdominal pain and swelling, chronic diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, weight loss and irritability, or for those who are genetically familiar with the disease. Even in the absence of the symptoms listed above, it is useful in case of iron, vitamin B or folate deficiency, which could indicate an incorrect intake of essential nutrients.
TECH SPECS
CELIAC TEST is a lateral flow immunochromatographic device for the detection of IgA and IgG anti-DGP antibodies in whole blood. If antibodies are present in the sample, they will react with the deamidated gliadin. A positive result indicates that the antibody concentration is close to the cut-off of 20 U/mL.
| Specificity | 94.1% |
| Sensitivity | 81.25% |
| Accuracy | 90.0% |
