Content for Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) Test

The Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) test offered by 24-7 Labs is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to assess the levels of two critical antibodies—Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG)—in your blood. These antibodies play essential roles in your immune system, helping to protect your body against infections and other diseases.

• Immunoglobulin A (IgA): Primarily found in mucous membranes, such as those in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, IgA serves as a first line of defense against pathogens entering through these areas.

• Immunoglobulin G (IgG): The most abundant antibody in the bloodstream, IgG is crucial for fighting bacterial and viral infections and is responsible for long-term immunity following exposure to pathogens or vaccination.

Why is the Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) Test Important?

This test is vital for:

• Evaluating Immune System Function: Determining if your immune system is producing adequate antibodies to combat infections.

• Diagnosing Immunodeficiency Disorders: Identifying conditions where the immune system is underactive, leading to frequent infections.

• Monitoring Autoimmune Diseases: Assessing conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues.Assay Genie

• Investigating Chronic Infections: Detecting persistent infections that may not be evident through other tests.

What to Expect During the Test

The Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) test involves a simple blood draw, typically from a vein in your arm. The procedure is quick, usually taking less than five minutes, and is performed by a trained healthcare professional.

Interpreting the Results

Normal levels of IgA and IgG vary based on age, sex, and individual health conditions. Abnormal levels may indicate an underlying health issue, such as an immune deficiency or autoimmune disorder. Your healthcare provider will interpret your results in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
