Low levels may point to immunodeficiency, making patients more susceptible to infections. It's crucial to remember that only a licensed healthcare provider can accurately interpret the results of the IG test in relation to your overall health.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges for immunoglobulin levels can vary based on factors like age, sex, and the specific laboratory methods used. Generally, these ranges are established from healthy individuals and are used to interpret test results. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to understand what the specific reference ranges mean in your context.
Sample Preparation
Before your IG test, no special preparation is generally required. However, it's a good idea to inform your healthcare provider of any medications or supplements you are taking, as they may suggest adjustments if necessary.
