A member asked:

My iga level is: 0.34 g/l (below 0.8 - 2.8) am i deficient? and would this effect my tissue transglutaminase iga level (0.1) (for celiac disease?)

Possibly/yes: If these are the standards set by the testing lab it suggests you are IgA deficient. If that is verified by other testing IgA deficiency will make TTG results unreliable since their normal standards apply to those with normal IgA production.

Agree with Drs. F&A: In patient's with IgA deficiency, testing for IgG antibody to deamidated gliadin is an option. However, the doctor who examined you and ordered the tests is in a better position to ascertain the need for additional tests, if any.
