Methods: Small-bowel mucosal morphology; CD3[sup +], αβ[sup +], and γδ[sup +] T-cell receptor-bearing intraepithelial lymphocytes; and mucosal HLA-DR expression were studied in 96 IgA-class antireticulin or antigliadin antibody-positive adults suspected of having coeliac disease and in ...
We previously investigated the prevalence of asymptomatic celiac disease in 3004 healthy children and 4313 adult blood donors by screening for IgA and IgG class antigliadin antibodies (AGA) and IgA class anti-endomysial antibodies (EmA). In none of the 162 exclusive AGA-positive adults and in ...
Anti-tissue transglutaminase and anti-gliadin antibodies were negative. Her thyroid labs were: TSH <0.008 uIU/ml, free T4 1.06ng/dl, free T3 4.07 pg/ml (2.3-4.2 pg/ml), total T3 1.74 ng/ml (0.60-1.81 ng/ml), anti-TPO antibody 12,414 U/ml, anti-TG antibody 22 U/ml, thyrotropin...
Background: Celiac disease (CD) antibodies, immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG), IgA endomysium antibody (EMA), IgA and IgG anti-gliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG AGA) are first-line diagnostic tools used in selecting patients for duodenal biopsy. The goal of this ...

Here, we examined the therapeutic efficacy of intravenous ...
Small-bowel mucosal inflam- mation in reticulin or gliadin antibody-positive patients without villous atrophy. Scand J Gastroenterol 1998;33:944 -949.Kaukinen K, Collin P, Holm K, Karvonen AL, Pikkarainen P & Maki M (1998). Small-bowel mucosal inflammation in reticulin or gliadin antibody-...
Twenty-five patients with positive serum reticulin or gliadin antibody titres and having normal small-bowel mucosal villous architecture were re-biopsied after a follow-up period of 1 to 7 years. Seven were found on control examination to have small-bowel villous atrophy. At the initial ...
Serological testing with tissue transglutaminase (TTG) and immunoglobulin A endomysial (EMA) antibodies is highly specific for celiac disease, while antigliadin antibody (AGA) testing is less specific.To evaluate the association of celiac serology with reduced bon...
ANTIGLIADIN ANTIBODYMULTICENTER TRIALHLA-B14 positive haplotypes have increased frequencies in a group of patients with puberty disorders, IgA deficiency and cancer of the ovary. Clinical investigations demonstrated that all these patients have high values of 170H progesteron after the ACTH test which ...
