The rapid self-test for celiac disease is an immunochromatographic test that detects the presence of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG-IgA) in the blood, associated with gluten intolerance. It is designed for quick and easy use at home, using a drop of blood obtained from a finger prick.
The immune system of a person with celiac disease reacts abnormally to gluten, a protein found in foods such as bread, pasta, and cereals, causing chronic inflammation of the small intestine. Common symptoms associated with celiac disease include abdominal bloating, diarrhea, persistent fatigue, weight loss, and anemia. Early diagnosis can help improve quality of life and prevent long-term complications.
The test offers a useful initial screening in the presence of suspicious symptoms or family history of the disease, and is intended for home self-diagnosis. The analysis is quick and takes about 10 minutes to read the result. The kit includes all the components necessary to perform the test independently, with clear and illustrated instructions.
⚠ This test is not a substitute for medical diagnosis. If the result is positive or symptoms persist, it is recommended that you consult a specialist for further diagnosis.
