Suggest Treatment For Elevated IgG Levels
Question: IG# 0.17x 10(3) IG% .90% what does this mean thank you
Brief Answer:
Need further testing
Detailed Answer:
Hello ! Thank you for using HealthcareMagic.
I read your question and understand your concern.
You mean IgG right ?, it's 90% and it's high. Normally it's around 75- 80%, i.e. the level of IgG.
IgG is a type of immunoglobulin (a core part of your immune system ) and it's produced by lymphocytes B (a type of white blood cell) when it's high means that your body is producing more than normal .
This could be due to an infection ( viral, bacterial), liver, kidney problems, amyloidosis, multiple myeloma or any other chronic diseases .
So this result has to be taken into consideration with your symptoms and further blood testing should be done to find a possible diagnosis.
Hope i have answered your question.
Let me know if you have any further queries, i will be happy to help.
Take Care !
