Immune & proteins
IgG
Total IgG antibody load. Persistently high accompanies chronic immune activation. Higher results are the ones to watch. A common adult reference interval is 600–1600 mg/dL.
Typical adult range
- Reference interval
- 600–1600 mg/dL
- Often-cited tighter window
- 700–1400 mg/dL
Standard adult laboratory reference interval. Your own lab's printed range is the one that applies to your result.
What commonly moves it
- Plasma-cell / paraprotein activityClonal light-chain production raises globulin and can suppress marrow output.
- Systemic inflammationRaises hepcidin (blocking iron), ESR/fibrinogen, and blunts T3 conversion.
