The IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test measures the level of immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4) antibodies in the blood, a specific subtype of IgG involved in immune regulation. This test is primarily used to support the clinical evaluation of IgG4-related disease, a chronic immune-mediated condition characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, and involvement of multiple organs. Elevated IgG4 levels are commonly associated with conditions such as autoimmune pancreatitis and sclerosing cholangitis, and may also be observed in certain allergic or inflammatory conditions. The test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs in Gurgaon at an affordable price.

Understanding IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4)

IgG4 antibodies are the least abundant subclass of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the blood, yet they play an important role in immune regulation. While IgG antibodies help the body respond to infections, abnormal IgG4 levels have been associated with certain immune-mediated conditions. One such condition is IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a chronic disorder that can cause organ enlargement, inflammation, fibrosis, and, in some cases, tumor-like masses. Elevated IgG4 levels are also commonly seen in autoimmune conditions such as autoimmune pancreatitis and may be present in chronic inflammatory or allergic conditions, indicating prolonged immune system activity.

A doctor may recommend the IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test when there is unexplained organ enlargement, persistent inflammation, or clinical suspicion of IgG4-related disease based on symptoms and imaging findings. The test may also be advised to support the evaluation of immune-mediated or allergic conditions.

The IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test supports the clinical assessment of IgG4-related disease and helps differentiate it from conditions such as malignancies (e.g., lymphoma) and other autoimmune disorders (e.g., lupus). It may also be used as part of ongoing evaluation to monitor disease activity and treatment response, in conjunction with clinical findings and other diagnostic tests.

No special preparation is required for the IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test. You may eat and drink normally unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Inform your doctor about all medications (such as antihistamines, oral steroids, or immunosuppressants) and supplements you are currently taking. Also, inform your doctor about any relevant medical history, including recent infections (such as flu or the common cold), pregnancy, or known immune-related disorders. These factors may influence test results and should be discussed with a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of the IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test results.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly.

What does IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) measure?

The IgG Subclass 4 (IgG4) test measures the level of immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4) antibodies in the blood. IgG4 is one of the four subclasses of IgG antibodies and plays a role in regulating immune responses. Unlike some other antibodies that strongly trigger inflammation, IgG4 is often involved in modulating immune activity during long-term or repeated immune stimulation.

Abnormal or elevated IgG4 levels have been associated with certain immune-mediated and inflammatory conditions, including IgG4-related disease. However, raised IgG4 levels are not specific to a single condition and must be interpreted along with clinical symptoms, imaging findings, and other laboratory tests. For this reason, IgG4 testing is used as a supportive test to aid diagnosis and monitor disease activity rather than as a standalone test.
