Answer:

immunoglobulins test

Step-by-step explanation:

immunoglobulins test usually measures three specific types of immunoglobulins. They are called igG, igM, and IgA. If your levels of igG, igM, or IgA are too low or too high, it may be a sign of a serious health problem.

This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, in your blood. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to fight disease causing substances, like viruses and bacteria. Your body makes different types of immunoglobulins to fight different types of these substances.
