Flashcards

Endoscopy and tissue biopsy

Considered the most accurate method to confirm celiac disease, involving visual examination and sample collection.

CBC and IgA tests

Blood tests that can suggest celiac disease but require further confirmation.

High IgA

An elevated level of this antibody in a child's blood work may indicate celiac disease.

Study Notes

  • Celiac disease diagnosis involves a combination of tests, with endoscopy and tissue biopsy being definitive
  • Lab work, including CBC and IgA tests, are not conclusive for diagnosing celiac disease
  • Elevated IgA levels in a child can indicate celiac disease
  • The definitive diagnosis requires endoscopy and tissue biopsy
  • While lab work such as CBC and IgA level testing are a part of the diagnostic process, they are not conclusive on their own
  • High IgA levels may raise suspicion for celiac disease in children
