**Gliadin IgG antibodies** are specific antibodies produced by the immune system in response to gliadin, a component of gluten. This test is used in the diagnostic process for celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. **Key Points:** - **Function:** Measures the presence of IgG antibodies against gliadin. Gliadin is a protein in gluten, and the immune system in individuals with celiac disease produces these antibodies in response to gluten ingestion. - **Clinical Relevance:** Elevated levels of gliadin IgG antibodies can suggest an immune response related to gluten sensitivity. This test is less specific than anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies and is often used alongside other tests for a comprehensive diagnosis. - **Diagnostic Use:** The gliadin IgG test is part of a broader panel of tests to diagnose celiac disease and is used when patients have symptoms consistent with gluten sensitivity. - **Interpretation:** High levels of gliadin IgG antibodies may indicate gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, but further testing is typically required to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease. Gliadin IgG testing helps in assessing gluten-related disorders, complementing other diagnostic tools for celiac disease.
