What is Anti Endomysium IgG Abs?

This test detects IgG antibodies against endomysium. It is used to screen for celiac disease, particularly in individuals who have an IgA deficiency, where standard IgA tests might not be reliable.

Why is this test important?

Anti-Endomysium IgG antibodies are valuable for diagnosing celiac disease in patients with IgA deficiency, which can lead to false-negative results with IgA-based tests. It helps ensure accurate diagnosis for all patients.

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.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
