Immunoglobulin G Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: IGG
Included
About the Test
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) measures the most abundant antibody in the blood, which provides long-term immune memory and defence against infections. Levels that are low can indicate an immune deficiency and a higher tendency to infections, while high levels may reflect chronic infection, inflammation or certain immune conditions. Doctors order it to investigate recurrent infections or as part of an immune assessment.
What is it? A blood test measuring immunoglobulin G, abbreviated IgG, the main long-lasting antibody that protects against infection.

Immunoglobulin G test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Immunoglobulin G test?
- Investigate recurrent or unusually severe infections
- Help assess a suspected antibody or immune deficiency
- Support evaluation of chronic inflammatory or immune conditions, often with IgA and IgM
How to prepare for the Immunoglobulin G test
No fasting is needed for an IgG test unless it is part of a fasting panel your doctor has ordered. Tell our nurse about any recent infections, vaccinations, or immune-affecting medicines, as these can influence your result and help with interpretation.
Understanding your Immunoglobulin G results
Low IgG may point to an immune deficiency with greater infection risk, while raised IgG can accompany chronic infection, inflammation or certain immune conditions. Because interpretation depends on the full clinical picture, review your result with your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
Immunoglobulin G is a specialised assay, so your doctor-reviewed report reaches you by WhatsApp and email in about 5 to 7 days after your home collection in Dubai.
Low IgG can indicate an antibody deficiency that leaves you more prone to infections. The cause and significance vary, so a low value should always be discussed with your doctor, who may arrange further testing.
No fasting is required for IgG on its own. If your doctor has combined it with a fasting panel such as lipids or glucose, follow the fasting instructions for that panel.
Not quite. This test measures your total IgG level, reflecting overall antibody status. Tests for a specific infection measure IgG directed at one organism, which is a different, targeted assay your doctor may order separately.
Checking the three main immunoglobulin classes together gives a fuller view of immune function. Comparing IgG, IgA and IgM helps your doctor spot patterns that suggest specific immune deficiencies or conditions.
A DHA-licensed nurse visits your home, office or hotel in Dubai and completes the draw in about 20 minutes. Samples are analysed at an ISO-certified partner lab, with self-pay pricing in AED.
