A member asked:

What is the reason of decrease in igg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Andrew Murphy answered

Several: Igg is a protein made by our bodies that specifically fights infections. Low igg levels can be caused by insufficient production of igg or increased losses of igg through the gut or urine.
