IgD By Flow Cytometry Blood Test

IgD By Flow Cytometry Blood Test measures the level of immunoglobulin D in your blood. This measurement helps in the evaluation of your immune response, detecting infections, and evaluation of specific immune system diseases. IgD helps in the identification of possible infections and triggers the immune response. Monitoring IgD levels can provide insight into how your immune system is working and detect abnormalities that may indicate underlying health issues.

• To evaluate immune system function
• To diagnose immune deficiencies
• To monitor autoimmune diseases
• To assess allergic reactions

The IgD By Flow Cytometry Blood Test is recommended for:

• Patients who are suspected of immune system disorders
• Patients with recurrent infections
• Patients having allergic conditions
• Monitoring autoimmune diseases in patients
• Evaluating response to treatment in patients

Abnormal results may indicate:

• Immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, or allergies
• Chronic infections
• Autoimmune diseases affecting the immune system
• Results needs to be interpretation by a healthcare provider

• A blood sample will be collected from a vein in your arm using a needle
• You may feel a slight prick when the needle is inserted for blood collection
• The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort
• No special preparation is usually needed
• The blood will be sent to a laboratory for analysis using flow cytometry technology

• Eat normally unless your doctor recommends a change
• Follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider
• Avoid eating or drinking anything (except water) for at least 8 hours before the test
• Wear loose sleeves for easy access to draw blood

• Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Quantification: Measures levels of a different antibody
• Complement Levels: To assess another aspect of the immune system
• Autoantibody Testing: To detect antibodies that target body tissues
• ANA Test (Antinuclear Antibody Test): Used to diagnose autoimmune disorders
• Complete Blood Count (CBC): To assess overall blood health

Immunoglobulin D Analysis or Serum IgD Test

PIDD refers to a group of genetic disorders that affect the immune system's ability to defend against infections correctly. People with PIDD have a weakened immune system, making them more susceptible to recurrent infections, autoimmune diseases, and other health complications. Testing IgD levels can help diagnosing PIDD
