Ordering Guidance


This cascade should not be used in patients who have previously been or are currently being treated with a gluten-free diet. For these individuals, order CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade, Serum and Whole Blood.

 

This cascade should not be used in individual who are negative for HLA-DQ2 or DQ8, as a diagnosis of celiac disease is unlikely. For individuals who are positive for either HLA-DQ2 and/or DQ8, this test may be ordered to assess for the presence of autoantibodies associated with celiac disease.

 

Cascade testing is recommended for celiac disease. Cascade testing ensures that testing proceeds in an algorithmic fashion. The following cascades are available, select the appropriate one for your specific patient situation.

-CDCOM / Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade, Serum and Whole Blood: Complete testing including HLA DQ

-CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade, Serum: Complete serology testing excluding HLA DQ

-CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade, Serum and Whole Blood: For patients already adhering to a gluten-free diet
