**Gliadin deamidated antibody (DGP) test** is used to detect antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides, which are fragments of gluten proteins. This test is particularly relevant for diagnosing celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response damaging the small intestine. **Key Points:** - **Function:** Measures the presence of antibodies directed against deamidated gliadin, a modified form of gluten that is more likely to trigger an immune response in individuals with celiac disease. - **Clinical Relevance:** Elevated levels of DGP antibodies are indicative of an immune response consistent with celiac disease. It is useful for diagnosing the condition, especially in cases where other serological tests may be inconclusive. - **Diagnostic Use:** The test helps in diagnosing celiac disease, distinguishing it from other gluten-related disorders, and monitoring adherence to a gluten-free diet. - **Interpretation:** Positive results suggest the presence of celiac disease, but should be confirmed with additional tests such as endoscopy and biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. The gliadin deamidated antibody test is a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing celiac disease.
