What is Anti Endomysium IgA Abs?
This test looks for IgA antibodies against endomysium, a component of smooth muscle tissue. It is a highly specific and sensitive test used primarily to screen for celiac disease.
Why is this test important?
Positive Anti-Endomysium IgA antibodies are a strong indicator of celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. This test is crucial for diagnosis and often followed by a biopsy for confirmation.
How to Prepare
You must be consuming a gluten-containing diet for several weeks prior to the test for accurate results. Do not start a gluten-free diet before this test.
