Can a positive CMV-IgG be a kidney donor?
i received a renal transplant from a sister that was cmv positve....i got cmv, but was fine after a week...
Cmv igg was 384 and cmv igm negative what does it mean?
The CMV antibody test measures two different kinds of antibodies, IGG and IGM. After you are infected with the CMV virus, your body first produces IGM antibodies, then IGG antibodies. The IGM antibodies disappear in several weeks to months, but the IGG antibodies stay for life, giving you long-term immunity. A positive IGG result and a negative IGM result mean that you do not have an acute infection, but you are immune to CMV because you were exposed some time in the past. If you are pregnant, this is good news as it means that you do not have to worry about contracting a CMV primo-infection, which can cause severe problems for the baby, ranging from hearing loss to stillbirth. Unlike the answer above states, prior infection with CMV does NOT prevent you from catching a second strain of CMV (much like having the flu once doesn't mean you can't get it again). In fact, being infected with more than one strain of CMV is actually quite common. So if you are pregnant, you should minimise your risk of contracting CMV. Contact with infected urine and saliva are the two most common ways of contracting the virus so try to avoid contact with either of these.
What is positive CMV IGG?
Positive CMV IgG (cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin G) indicates that a person has been exposed to the cytomegalovirus at some point in their life and has developed antibodies against it. This is usually a sign of past infection and does not necessarily mean that the person is currently infected or experiencing symptoms. In healthy individuals, CMV typically causes mild or no symptoms, but it can be more serious in immunocompromised individuals or during pregnancy. Testing for CMV IgG is often done to assess immunity, especially in pregnant women or organ transplant recipients.
What does positive CMV Igg 28 mean?
A positive CMV IgG result indicates that a person has been infected with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) at some point in their life, and their immune system has produced antibodies against the virus. The "28" likely refers to a specific measurement or test value, but without additional context, it is difficult to interpret its significance. Generally, a positive IgG signifies past infection, while IgM antibodies would indicate a recent infection. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized interpretation and implications.
Does a positive result for CMV IgG indicate a current or past infection?
Generally a test for IgG antibodies can determines exposure to the disease agent (or vaccination). The immune system responds to regions. There is a rough correlation between the amount of antibody to the concentration of antigen (what triggers the immune response) and level of antibodies, but it isn't absolute. CMV IgG indicates past infection, and does not say anything about current infection.
What is CMV AB IGM?
CMV AB IGM refers to the presence of IgM antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV). IgM antibodies are produced early in the immune response to a current or recent CMV infection. Detection of CMV IgM antibodies can aid in diagnosing an active CMV infection.
Could a woman go for pregnancy with CMV IgG equal to 353?
I am not sure, please consult with doctor
Is the result of cytomegalovirus IgG 189.80 normal?
A result of cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG at 189.80 is considered positive, indicating past or chronic infection with the virus. This result suggests that the individual has been exposed to CMV in the past and has developed antibodies against it. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further interpretation and guidance.
