The Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Level Test measures the total concentration of IgA antibodies in the blood serum. IgA is one of the five major classes of antibodies (immunoglobulins) produced by plasma cells.
IgA plays a primary role in mucosal immunity, acting as the first line of defense in areas like the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory passages, saliva, tears, and breast milk. It helps protect these surface linings from bacteria, viruses, and allergens.
Measuring IgA levels is important for evaluating the immune system's function and diagnosing various disorders related to immune deficiencies and autoimmune conditions.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we provide accurate quantification of immunoglobulins for comprehensive immune assessment.
