What is Immunoglobulin IgG?
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common class of antibody in the blood and other bodily fluids. These antibodies are crucial components of the immune system because they help protect the body against bacterial and viral infections.
Why should you have Immunoglobulin IgG tested?
A test for Immunoglobulin IgG can be useful for determining how your immune system responds to infections or for checking for immunity problems. It can also assist in diagnosing certain immune disorders, such as a chronic infection or an autoimmune disease.
What does it indicate?
The amount of IgG in your blood provides information about your immune system and how it responds to infections. A normal level suggests that your immune system is functioning correctly, while abnormal levels indicate potential health problems.
What does a high IgG level mean?
A high level of IgG may indicate a recent or chronic infection. It might also point to an autoimmune disease, where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells.
What does a low IgG level mean?
A low level of IgG may indicate that you have a weakened immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. It can also be a sign of a specific immunodeficiency, where the body does not produce sufficient antibodies.
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.
