tTG IgA antibody concentrations greater than 40 U/mL usually correlate with results of duodenal biopsies consistent with a diagnosis of celiac disease.
What is the normal range for celiac disease?
For example, at the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), the reference range is 0-19 units. A person with celiac disease who is carefully following the gluten-free diet should expect to see the TTG IgA number fall < 20 and remain there.
What is a positive tTG result?
The tTG test above is clearly positive and that indicates celiac disease. The child has diarrhea which is a classic symptom of celiac disease. If she removed gluten from her diet and was shown to have the genes for celiac disease, the outcome of the endoscopy would be moot.
