  • Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile

    Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile £219 < Back Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile A simple blood test to test for coeliac disease. People with coeliac disease who eat gluten have higher than normal levels of certain antibodies in their blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system because it views gluten (the proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley) as a threat. You must be on a gluten-containing diet for antibody (blood) testing to be accurate. tTG-IgA Test For most children and adults, the best way to test for celiac disease is with the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody (tTG-IgA), plus an IgA antibody in order to ensure that the patient generates enough of this antibody to render the coeliac disease test accurate. All coeliac disease blood tests require that you be on a gluten-containing diet to be accurate. The tTG-IgA test will be positive in about 93% of patients with coeliac disease who are on a gluten-containing diet. This refers to the test’s sensitivity , which measures how correctly it identifies those with the disease. The same test will come back negative in about 96% of healthy people without celiac disease. There is also a slight risk of a false positive test result, especially for people with associated autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes, autoimmune liver disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis, and heart failure, who do not have celiac disease. IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA): The EMA test has a specificity of almost 100%, making it the most specific test for coeliac disease, although it is not as sensitive as the tTG-IgA test. About 5-10% of people with coeliac disease do not have a positive EMA test. It is usually reserved for difficult to diagnose patients. Total serum IgA: This test is used to check for IgA deficiency, a condition associated with coeliac disease that can cause a false negative tTG-IgA or EMA result. While it is very rare, it is possible for someone with coeliac disease to have negative antibody test results. If your tests were negative, but you continue to experience symptoms, consult your doctor and undergo further medical evaluation.

What Vaccines are available? Flu vaccines are safe and effective. They're offered every year on the NHS to help protect people at risk of flu and its complications. Flu vaccination is important because, while flu is unpleasant for most people, it can be dangerous and even life threatening for some people, particularly those with certain health conditions. The best time to have your flu vaccine is in the autumn or early winter before flu starts spreading. But you can get your vaccine later. Vaccine Schedules Once a year during flu season. Prevention Flu is very infectious and easily spread to other people. You're more likely to give it to others in the first 5 days. Flu is spread by germs from coughs and sneezes, which can live on hands and surfaces for 24 hours. To reduce the risk of spreading flu: wash your hands often with warm water and soap, and cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (if you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow, not into your hand) bin used tissues as quickly as possible. Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to do your normal activities. Need to book more than one vaccine? Please make a booking for a single vaccine and leave a note with the booking for the other vaccines you require. We will reserve the vaccines and call you if there are any issues. Note: We offer a 5% discount for cash payments. Please make sure you fill in the form in the appointment confirmation which you will recieve (as a link).

  • Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA)

    Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA) £129 < Back Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA) This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins in your blood. Immunoglobulins are also called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs , such as viruses and bacteria . When you're exposed to germs, your body makes unique antibodies that are specifically designed to destroy only those germs. An immunoglobulins blood test measures the amounts of IgM, IgG, and IgA in your blood to help diagnose different types of health conditions that may affect your immune system. Biomarkers: IgM antibodies are the first immunoglobulins your body makes after you're exposed to germs. They provide short-term protection while your body makes other antibodies. IgM antibodies are in your blood and lymph fluid (a watery fluid that carries the cells that fight infections and diseases to all parts of your body). IgG antibodies are very important for fighting infections from bacteria and viruses. Most of the immunoglobulins in your blood are IgG. You also have some IgG antibodies in all your body fluids. Your body keeps a "blueprint" of all the IgG antibodies you have made. That way, if you're exposed to the same germs again, your immune system can quickly make more antibodies. IgA antibodies protect your respiratory tract (the organs you use to breathe) and your digestive system (the organs you use to eat and digest food) from infections. You have IgA antibodies in your blood, saliva, and gastric "juices." Estimated turnaround time: 2-5 Working Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage.
