How does one rule out other possible causes of the positive tTG blood test? We rule out other causes of elevated tTG by evaluating the other known possible causes, such as liver diseases or the concomitant presence of other autoimmune disorders. If those have been ruled out, the next likely cause is that you are not living 100% gluten-free.
An increase in endogenous TG production can also be the result of faults in the feedback mechanism to the liver to activate the production of lipases. Apart from diet, many other causes of raised TG are known: High alcohol intake. Drugs-steroids, beta-blockers, high-oestrogenoral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives increase TG and HDL-C levels by 15-40% and 5-10%, respectively.
