Abstract
The use of values higher than the recommended cut-off point must logically improve specificity and PPV. In 31.6% patients positive for AATGt-IgA and AAE-IgA (38/120) it would have been possible to diagnose the disease without intestinal biopsy as of the PPV was 100%. It is not possible to standardise results as there are different commercial kits with variable cut-off points, so we must be cautious when setting recommendations based on AATGt-IgA.
