Lightbulb To bny806 @ Immunoglobulins

Quote:
(interesting about the IgA deficiency.. how did they diagnose or find that? They have wondered if I had that, but didn't check it till after I was on IVIG.. I have never mounted antibodies/titers to vaccines or illnesses that I have had.. they would check and it would be negative, and we would have to re vaccinate me etc.. my father has the same issue.. )
You wrote that in Magister's thread but it was getting long so I'm posting it here.

I had already answered that question for you but maybe it got lost in a thread.

They do a blood test of all your immunoglobulins (i.e., IgA, IgE, IgG, etc.) to see what your levels are. You had said that you might've seen that on a screen in the hospital and that you thought it looked flagged as abnormal. To which I said, "GET YOUR RECORDS!"

It's a relatively expensive test, so you might want to get your records first, which should be free.

If you want more of a "background check" of your immunology, you should go see an immunologist!
