Brief Answer: RAISED IG G LEVELS NEED NO TREATMENT. Detailed Answer: Hello THanks for writing to us with your health concern. Any kind of immunity against an infection leads to raised Ig G levels. Raised Ig G levels also can result from past vaccination. There is no need for any treatment for a raised Ig G level. Only elevated Ig M levels indicate acute infection which should be treated promptly. All your reports are normal as the Ig G levels are raised, which is of no consequence. Do you have details of the previous childbirth - what was the complication and when did the baby die ? Get her blood sugars checked regularly and blood pressure also. Have a complete anomaly scanning ( TIFA ) done. Take regular iron, calcium ,folic acid supplements and protein powder daily. Am unable to view the attached pdf reports, you can mail them alternatively at YYYY@YYYY All the best Please feel free to discuss further.
