Test code: Change applies to all Specific IgG4 Antibodies tests

Effective update from 28/01/2022




PREVIOUS

NEW
        
Normals and atopics not treated : Less than 5 mg/L
Atopics treated : 5.5-40 mg/L
     
Hypersensibilization response must be monotorized and compared with sample before treatment.
The specific IgG4 levels are in most cases, increased from 2 to 20 times after treatment.
In case of getting different results, we have to do re-evaluation of the specific immunotherapy.
     
        
There are no established values ​​for the interpretation of the test. However, an increase in IgG during immunological therapy with decreased sensitivity to the allergen indicates good therapeutic response.
