Interpretive Data
Background information for test. May include disease information, patient result explanation, recommendations, details of testing, associated diseases, explanation of possible patient results.
The total IgG (mg/dL) can be derived from the sum of the subclass IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 values. However, a confirmatory and more precise total IgG is available by the immunoturbidimetric method of quantitation for total IgG. Refer to test Immunoglobulin G, Serum (0050350).
