Understanding Your Results

Results of the ASCA IgG test are interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests. A positive result indicates the presence of antibodies, which may suggest Crohn's disease, but does not confirm diagnosis alone.
📊

Negative

No detectable ASCA IgG antibodies; low likelihood of Crohn's disease, but other IBD forms should be considered.

📊

Positive

Elevated ASCA IgG antibodies; increased association with Crohn's disease. Further evaluation with endoscopy and other tests is recommended.

📊

Equivocal

Borderline levels; repeat testing or additional clinical assessment may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience persistent gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or weight loss, or if your test results are positive, consult a gastroenterologist for comprehensive evaluation and management.
