Symptoms or conditions analyzed by this test

The Total IgG test measures the overall level of IgG antibodies, which are crucial for long-term immunity and protection against infections. Low levels of IgG can result in frequent infections and immune dysfunction, while elevated levels may be associated with chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, or malignancies. This test is essential for diagnosing immune deficiencies and monitoring related health conditions.
