What is Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Serum?

This test measures the level of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) in your blood. IgA is an antibody that plays a crucial role in your immune system, primarily protecting mucosal surfaces like those in your respiratory and digestive tracts.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal IgA levels can indicate various conditions, including immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases like celiac disease, or chronic infections. It helps assess overall immune function and identify specific immune disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
