Endomysial IgG Antibody, Serum

Description

The Endomysial IgG Antibody test is another antibody test used in the diagnosis of celiac disease. While less specific than the IgA test, it complements IgA testing for a more comprehensive diagnosis. This test is particularly useful in patients with IgA deficiency, where the IgA test might give false-negative results. It measures IgG antibodies targeting the endomysium. The test helps in diagnosing celiac disease and can be used to monitor the effectiveness of gluten-free diets in managing the condition.
