Q

Indications for Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and IgG Antibodies?

A

Monitoring celiac disease:

Will be negative in a pt on gluten-free diet (IgG decreases over 6-12 months

**first test you do when looking for celiacs disease , and it has to be active disease to find the ABS *

2
Q

Antibodies test explanation?

A

Gliadin and gluten are proteins found in wheat

Cause direct mucosal damage when ingested by pt with celiac

**they induce an autoimmune reaction in the bowel and you get a smooth bowel wall creating problems *

3
Q

Indication for lactose intolerance test?

A

Used to identify pts with lactose intolerance caused by:

Lactase insufficiency
Intestinal malabsorption
Maldigestion
Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine

**can break down lactose cause they do not have the lactase enzyme ( lactase insufficiency)*

4
Q

lactose is broken up into what by what enzyme?

A

galactose and glucose by lactase

5
Q

Test explanation lactose intolerance?

A

Lactose load is given

Serum glucose levels are checked at 30,60, and 120 minutes after lactose PO

6
Q

lactose intolerance test abnormal ?

A

No rise in glucose

7
Q

lactose intolerance test normal ?

A

Rise in glucose levels by >20 mg/dL

**if they break down lactose then we should see a rise in glucose ( check at 30, 60, 120 min)
