Levels of IgG
Decreased or increased levels of IgG subclasses in serum are associated with several diseases.
Deficiencies of IgG subclasses are an indication of a disturbed immune response, although asymptomatically decreased IgG subclass levels may occur as well. Deficiencies can occur in single or multiple IgG subclasses.
Second IUIS / WHO report
Measurement of total levels of IgG subclasses or assessment of the subclass pattern of specific antibodies is essential in patients with increased susceptibility to bacterial infections when the total IgG level is within or slightly below the normal range. It is also useful for research purposes.
