What is a Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) DGP Test in Visit Clinic?
What is Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) DGP?
Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) DGP is a laboratory test that evaluates one or more biological markers in the blood or urine. Results provide your doctor with objective, measurable data to support diagnosis, guide treatment, or monitor a health condition over time.
What does Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) DGP measure?
This test measures antibodies made against tissue transglutaminase (TTG) and deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP). These antibodies form when the immune system reacts to gluten. Detecting them helps identify celiac disease, an immune condition that damages the small intestine and causes poor nutrient absorption. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered. A blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm and processed through NABL-accredited laboratory equipment. Results are compared against established reference ranges for your age and gender.
What do the results of Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) DGP mean?
Your doctor will interpret the result in the context of your overall health picture. A mildly abnormal value may just need a repeat test in a few weeks to confirm whether it is a temporary fluctuation or a persistent finding. Significantly abnormal values may trigger further investigation, medication, or referral to a specialist.
