# tTG-IgA

> tTG-IgA is measured with a standard blood draw; no fasting is needed. A typical reference range is 0.000 – 4.00 U/mL. At TestWell it's $124.99 all-in as Celiac Disease Panel, results in 3–7 business days, drawn at Quest. An out-of-range result is a prompt to look closer, not a diagnosis.

Also known as: ttg-iga, ttg iga, tissue transglutaminase iga.
