What is Candida Albicans IgG?
Candida Albicans IgG is a biomarker that indicates the presence of specific antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are produced in response to an infection with the fungus Candida albicans, which occurs in small amounts in the body under normal circumstances.
Why should you get tested for Candida Albicans IgG?
Testing for Candida Albicans IgG is useful for individuals experiencing symptoms that may indicate an overgrowth of this fungus, such as fatigue, digestive problems, and skin rash. It is also relevant for people with a weakened immune system, who are more susceptible to infections.
What does it indicate?
The presence of IgG antibodies against Candida Albicans indicates a previous or persistent infection with this fungus. It assists in evaluating the immune response against Candida.
What does a high Candida Albicans IgG level mean?
A high level of Candida Albicans IgG in the blood may indicate a chronic or recent infection with the fungus. This may suggest Candida overgrowth that potentially requires medical attention.
What does a low Candida Albicans IgG level mean?
A low level of Candida Albicans IgG suggests that there is no significant immune response against the fungus, which may mean that the person has not been recently or chronically infected with Candida albicans.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
