EIGA

This test detects IgA antibodies against endomysium, a key marker of coeliac disease. These antibodies appear when the immune system reacts to gluten, damaging the small intestine lining. Testing helps confirm gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease in patients with symptoms such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain, or unexplained anaemia.

Why the Endomysial Antibodies Test (IgA) Matters?

 Accurate detection of coeliac disease allows individuals to adopt a gluten-free diet early, preventing complications like malabsorption, osteoporosis, or long-term gut damage.

What Gets Assessed?

FAQs

What does this test measure?

It measures IgA antibodies directed against the endomysium, a connective tissue protein, which are highly specific markers for coeliac disease.

Who should consider this test?

Individuals with persistent digestive issues, gluten sensitivity symptoms, nutrient deficiencies, or suspected coeliac disease.

Is this a blood test?

Yes, it requires a venous blood sample that is analysed in a certified laboratory.

Does a positive result confirm coeliac disease?

A positive result strongly indicates coeliac disease, but diagnosis is usually confirmed with an intestinal biopsy.

Can IgA deficiency affect the result?

Yes, IgA deficiency can cause false negatives, which is why total IgA levels are often measured alongside this test.
