This test measures the level of types of antibodies in the blood.
Our immune system produces antibodies to protect us from bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Sometimes, our body may mistakenly treat healthy organs and tissues like foreign invaders and make antibodies against healthy organs and tissue. This is called as an autoimmune disease.
The different types of antibodies are Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Immunoglobulin M (IgM), Immunoglobulin E (IgE), Immunoglobulin D (IgD).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I prepare for an Immunoglobulin Test?
No preparation is required for this test. You can eat normally. Inform your doctor about all ongoing medicines because some medicines may alter this test results.
How is the blood sample taken?
A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm to take the blood sample. You need to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins, making it easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein to prevent bacteria from entering. Needle is inserted into the vein of the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
How long it take to complete this test?
Most of the blood tests usually take just a few minutes to complete. But, if your veins are hard to find, then your health professional may try more than once for a blood sample.
How long it take to get the results of this test?
It may take a few days for the results to be ready. Your doctor may order other tests to figure out the problem if the test results show signs of a problem.
