A solid-phase red cell adherence (SPRCA) assay has been developed to screen blood donors for IgA deficiency, and 6117 donor sera have been screened by this method. Eighteen sera were found to be IgA deficient, which represents a frequency of 1 in 340. Seventeen of these sera were retested...
Yes, that's the one. IGA Quantitative. What is the reference range given for that one? If no reference range was given, is there another notation associated with it indicating it was either low or high or neither? If not, I would assume your score does not indicate IGA deficiency. ...
This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are ...
The most severe form of leprosy (multibacillary) is characterized by numerous antibodies [11], in particular immunoglobulin M (IgM), whereas IgG and IgA are detected mostly at lower levels and in patients only [12]. Blood levels of IgM against M. leprae-specific phenolic glycolipid I (anti-...

Prevalence of celiac disease was 0.24-0.34% and that of IgA deficiency 0.5-0.6%. This screening study confirms that celiac disease is relatively common in schoolchildren in Tunisia. It confirms also that even those with symptoms typical for celiac disease escape diagnosis. Rapid test is better ...
Figure 1. IgA deficiency and autoimmunity.Secretory IgA in the Fc-α receptor1 acts as a blocker and inhibits cell activation that could lead to autoimmunity. An empty Fc-α receptor1 with no SIgA means no inhibition of cell activation, resulting in autoimmunity. ...
A test for immunoglobulins (Igs) is used to detect an excess or deficiency in the three major classes of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM). It gives important information about the health of an individual’s immune system and is used to help diagnose various conditions and diseases that af...
some people have a condition which causes an IgA antibody deficiency. This package includes aTotal Serum IgAtest to help determine if a person is IgA deficient. In people with this condition, there is the possibility of false negatives for IgA antibody tests. In this case, additional testing ...
This work aims to estimate celiac disease prevalence in school-children in the island of Djerba and assess rapid method feasibility for screening. We screened 2064 schoolchildren by a rapid method to detect IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase and IgA deficiency. Children with positive results were test...
