IGA DEFICIENCY

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The cause of this lab test is the autoimmune diseases, not lymphoma.

Some people who have IgA deficiency experience pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, allergies etc.

Common autoimmune conditions found with IgA deficiency include rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Some people also have gluten intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease.
