Testing for certain antibodies can reduce surgical risk.
The panel includes:
- Total IgA
- Transglutaminase IgA
- Transglutaminase IgG
- Gliadin IgA Antibody
- Endomysial Antibody
Despite a low risk of perioperative complications, the use of laboratory tests prior to surgery is standard practice. This panel is ordered to detect abnormalities that may lead to potential surgical risks.
How to prepare:
You are required to fast, consuming no food or liquids other than water, for 8-10 hours. You can drink pure drinking water (without carbonation or flavors). Do not drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours prior to the test.
