CertifiedLabsWhat is Immunoglobulin IgA Test?
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a type of antibody that helps protect the surfaces of the body, such as the lining of the gut, airways, and the moist tissues of the mouth and nose. It is an important part of the immune system. The IgA blood test measures the level of this antibody in your blood. It helps doctors check the strength of your immune system and look into conditions that cause too much or too little IgA.
