The gliadin antibodies test, specifically referring to anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA), is a laboratory test used in the diagnosis and management of celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. The test is important because it serves as a marker for gluten sensitivity, aids in the diagnosis of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, helps monitor adherence to a gluten-free diet, and contributes to research efforts in understanding gluten-related disorders. It plays a significant role in the comprehensive evaluation and management of individuals with suspected gluten-related issues.
