✔ Biocard™ Celiac Test is a rapid, simple and reliable home test for the detection of celiac disease associated IgA autoantibodies from a fingertip blood sample.
✔ Celiac disease is a serious, lifelong, gastrointestinal disorder that can cause a wide range of clinical symptoms such as: diarrhoea, abdominal distension, weight loss, malnutrition and skin disorders. Celiac disease is caused by permanent intolerance to gluten, a storage protein found in wheat, barley and rye. By following a gluten free diet, these symptoms can be avoided.
✔ The Biocard™ Celiac Test is a home test for the detection of transglutaminase IgA antibodies from a fingertip blood sample. The presence of these antibodies is strongly related to celiac disease. The Biocard™ Celiac Test can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease, but the final diagnosis must be confirmed by a medical doctor.
✔ During a gluten free diet, the level of these antibodies will decrease. The amount of antibodies can become undetectable a few weeks after a change in the diet or at the latest after 6 months. As a result, you should have a negative test result if you are following a gluten free diet. So, the Biocard™ Celiac Test is a good tool for monitoring the effect of a gluten free diet.
✔ The Biocard™ Celiac Test was studied with 228 clinical samples and the results were compared to the biopsy proven clinical diagnosis. The Biocard™ Celiac Test showed a sensitivity of 96.7% and a specificity of 93.5%.
