Okay...confused

[P_Mom]

I had some blood work done. My rheumatologist wanted to run some tests. He ran quantative immunoglobulins to chek for suspected immune deficiency. I suspected it, too, becaue my kids run low IGG and rock bottom normal IGA.

 

Well, I just opened my results. My total IGG is high. 1901 normal 654-1600

 

IGA 300 something ... higher end of normal

 

IGM 90 something...normal

 

Does anyone have any insight on why someone would have an elevated IGG? So weird. Or, is it nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks!

Just a guess- your body is fighting something?

There doesn't appear to be anything worrisome.

I have suspected food intolerances (IGG mediated) in myself. Does anyone know if the high total IGG could be the result of a food intolerance IGG response??

 

Thanks...sorry this is about myself...but, you guys would know the most about this stuff!

Hello:

 

I am not as familiar with high total IGG levels, but I do know that elevated IGE levels are associated with allergies.
