Secretory IgA – Gut Immune Function

Secretory IgA is one of the most important immune markers in the gastrointestinal tract. It reflects mucosal immune activity and may help identify whether the gut immune system is underactive, overstimulated, or chronically challenged.

This test can be clinically useful in patients with recurrent infections, chronic digestive symptoms, food reactions, dysbiosis, or suspected immune imbalance within the gut.
