Understanding Immunoglobulin G in Mumbai
What is Immunoglobulin G in Mumbai?
The Immunoglobulin G is a blood test that measures the level of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the body. IgG are the most common type of antibodies in the blood that helps fight off infections primarily caused by microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, allergens etc.) and provides long-term immunity after exposure to an infection or vaccination. It helps diagnose and monitor infections, immune system disorders, or autoimmune diseases. This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Mumbai.
The Immunoglobulin G test, often done as part of an immunology panel, helps to assess immune health, monitor infections and guide treatment decisions for immunocompromised conditions.
No special preparation is required for the Immunoglobulin G. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.
What does Immunoglobulin G measure?
The Immunoglobulin G test measures the concentration of IgG antibodies present in the serum. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to specific pathogens or infections. Elevated levels of IgG can indicate recent or chronic infections, while lower levels may suggest an impaired immune response or deficiency. This test is crucial for assessing an individual’s immune status and provides valuable information for doctors to make informed clinical decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment strategies, and ongoing management of various health conditions.
