General Information
IgA levels reflect physiological status, indicating deviations from normal immunity and resistance.
As a humoral immunity marker, it monitors bodily changes and immunity pre-disease onset.
Excess IgA in blood suggests infections or somatic conditions like acute intestinal infections, breast, or intestinal tumors.
