Accepted Answer

If: Slightly elevated probably not much. Of concern will be a low number, suggesting immunosuppression, or a very high one suggesting some proliferative disorder. F/u with your doctor to determine course of action.

Question 2

our 17 month old daughter has low iga in her blood. her levels are 0.1. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Reason for testing: What was the reason for testing to start with?   were you suspecting some kind of immune problem? Repeat the test in another lab first before judging, selective IgA deficiency is not uncommon, and not dangerous, many people do have it with normal healthy life, check with an allergist/Immunologist for better understanding, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, take care

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the information you provided, does not add up. The tests are not for detecting Celiac disease.

Question 5

what does it mean if your blood work shows candida antibody igm. igg. iga are all high?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Not a thing. Candida lives on and in us. All of yes. Our immune system all have these antibodies.

Question 6

what does it mean when your blood test showed candida antibody iga 1.5. igm 1.2. igg 1.9. all high?

Accepted Answer

Beware: I would be very cautious about any physician or other health care practitioner who proposes to treat you for a candida infection on the basis of bloodwork in the absence of a specific clinical finding of an infection. Labs that promote these tests are strongly linked to fringe medicine. My main concern is that you'll be given inappropriate medication and/or overlook a real health problem.

Question 7

ast 33 alt 79. sign to worry? i remember everytime i do a blood test it's either higher and normal. why does it fluctuate? c.albicans iga is high too. what does this mean? i take omeprazole 40mg once a day?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your medication may be the explanation for mild elevation of ALT. Do not take alcohol, or Tylenol. If you are overweight, lose weight.  
Wish you good health!

Accepted Answer

: There is more than one cause of elevated IgG. Given your history, it likely reflects chronic inflammation. It is the expected response of immune system. It is more important to address the reason for the blood test than the slight increase in IgG.
Wish you good health!

Question 10

i had blood and scopes done foe celiac.  negative for celiac, but with very high iga.  would you still recommend avoiding wheat?

Accepted Answer

? TTG: Do you mean the ttg an was elevated ? Positive ab without active disease on small bowel biopsies is not too uncommon. And there is no right answer. If having GI sx that improve on gluten free diet, then probably best to continue. If not there is no need to avoid gluten just because of ab+.
