Information about Immunoglobulin A (IgA)

Infection test for you with recurring infections

Blood analysis of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), which is an important part of your immune system and above all related to your mucous membranes. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a crucial role in protecting the body's mucous membranes from infection. Measuring the levels of IgA in the blood can provide important information about your immune system and help identify ongoing or recent infections. You should consider having this test if you experience the following symptoms or suspicions:

  • Mucosal infections: If infections of mucous membranes, such as the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract, are suspected, an IgA test can help confirm the diagnosis.
  • Recurrent infections: If you have frequent or difficult-to-treat infections, an IgA test can provide insight into possible immunodeficiency conditions.
  • Autoimmune diseases: If autoimmune diseases are suspected, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, the IgA levels can provide valuable information.
  • Treatment monitoring: If you are being treated for an infection or immune-related condition, an IgA test may be used to monitor treatment effectiveness.

Elevated IgA values may indicate:

  • Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, where the immune system attacks healthy tissues
  • Bacterial or viral infections
  • Liver and intestinal diseases, such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease

Low IgA values are related to:

  • Primary immunodeficiency diseases, such as selective IgA deficiency
  • Chronic infections
  • Diseases of the liver or spleen

Antibodies are part of the body's immune system.
