I wish I had those numbers. They look good to me.

Thanks Susan. Are yours much different? My subclass 1 was close to the bottom of the range so I was concerned about that. Not sure if I am being overly cautious.

Posted by susank (Member # 22150) on :

I would say you are good - not to worry.

Perhaps check again in the future.

If you still suspect an immune deficiency you could do vaccine challenges - see how your body responds. ie Tetanus, H.Flu., and Strep.

If inadequate response - maybe, maybe an ID.

Forgot - did you have your IGM and IGA totals checked with the IGG?

Posted by nyclymedout (Member # 45977) on :

Thanks again Susan. No unfortunately just IGG and subclass were tested.

Maybe next time have the other totals checked. Although not much can be done about those if deficient - but would be good to know.
