arizona girl Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 IMMUNOGLOBULINS QUANTITATIVE IGA IGG IGM - Checks to see if your body can fight off bacteria, viral or fungal attacks. It is your body immune defense system.This it the test that diagnosed me with Common variable immune deficiency. My IGG were very low and my IGM didn't show at all. My IGA was good so I was still able to fight off respiratory infections. Usually IGA is low with IGG and you get a lot of upper respiratory infections with that combo.

Natops Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hey Arizongirl. In my blood work- I have had this done twice. - IEP INTERPRETATIONBoth times (urine and Serum) the results say - Serum immunofixation fails to show monoclonal IgG, IgA, IgM, kappa light chains, or lambda light chains.So, what does that mean? Does it mean my immune system is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Natops,I think that is probably something your doctor needs to answer. I would check with him/her to get the most accurate information... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
