IgA Price in Bangladesh

What is IgA?

IgA (Immunoglobulin A) is an antibody crucial for immune function, particularly in mucosal areas such as the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It plays a key role in neutralizing pathogens and preventing their adherence to epithelial cells.

IgA exists in two main forms: serum IgA, found in the blood, and secretory IgA, present in mucosal secretions like saliva, tears, and breast milk. Low IgA levels may indicate selective IgA deficiency, which can increase susceptibility to infections or autoimmune conditions.

Elevated levels might suggest chronic infections, liver disease, or autoimmune disorders. Measuring IgA levels through blood tests can help diagnose immune-related issues and guide treatment strategies.

What to expect & how to prepare

IgA is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your IgA result rather than self-diagnosing.
