Positive predictive value of serological diagnostic measures in celiac disease
Conclusions: The anti-tTG concentration at initial serological CD screening was highly informative in relation to EMA positivity, number of additional CD specific antibodies and PPV. Furthermore, in the high-risk group of patients investigated, the concentrations of anti-tTG and IgA AGA at initial serological screening could accurately predict the probability of future biopsy-proven CD.
