Rubella - IgG Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: GERMAN MEASLES, RUBELLA
Included
About the Test
Rubella IgG measures antibodies that show whether you are protected against rubella, also called German measles, from past infection or vaccination. It is most often checked before or early in pregnancy, because rubella caught during pregnancy can seriously harm the developing baby. The test tells you whether you already have immunity or may need to consider vaccination before conceiving. It is also used to confirm immunity in healthcare workers and others who need documented protection.
What is it? A blood test measuring rubella IgG antibodies to check immunity to rubella, also known as German measles.

It generally means you are immune to rubella, from a previous infection or vaccination, and are unlikely to catch it. Your doctor can confirm what this means for pregnancy planning.
Rubella infection during pregnancy can seriously harm the baby. Checking immunity beforehand lets you get vaccinated in advance if needed, since the vaccine is not given during pregnancy itself.
No fasting is required. It is a simple blood draw that takes around 20 minutes including setup, and you can eat and drink normally beforehand.
