Needle is inserted into the vein of the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.

A Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA, IgM, or IgG test is used as part of an evaluation to help doctors diagnose celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly considers gluten as a foreign invader. The immune system produces antibodies that attack an enzyme in the intestines called tissue transglutaminase (TTG).
