How the plasma cell synthesis immunoglobulins A?
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the main effector of the mucosal surface and is an important first line of defense against most pathogens. It is also found in saliva, tears, and colostrum. IgA is produced by plasma cells as polymeric IgA consisting of two or more monomers linked by the J (joining) chain. It is then transfered to the epithelium and secreted. It is believed to interfere with pathogen adherence. IgA is also found as a monomer in the serum where it is a second line of defence against pathogens.

What does elevated immunogloblin IgA mean?
First, what is an IGA? It is immunoglobulin - a type of antibody that protects against infections. Elevated levels have to do with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. And now another question may arise from what elevated levels of IGA are involved with. Waldenstrom's Mcaroglobulinemia is a type of cancer invovling a subtype of white blood cells. You should know, firstly this answer is completely wrong so please ignore it. Please if you need a proper answer ask a GP. Firstly it is not "IGA", but IgA. Elevated levels of IgA do NOT correspond to WM. IgA is found in mucosal areas (the moist areas such as throat, stomach etc). An elevated level MAY correspond to multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). It may also be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus and rheumatic athritis. Finally it is also associated with liver diseases such as hepatitis (however other clear signs are present). I hope this helps, and please contact a health professional next time who will know the correct answer and not give false answers! Regards

Why would serum calcium be elevated in osteoporosis?
Serum calcium will be depleted in advances osteoporosis. Calcium mostly resides in the bones. In osteoporsosis, the bone is being broken down faster than the body can rebuild it. This causes calcium stores to go from the bones and into the blood stream. Serum calcium is the measure of calcium in the blood, not what is in the bones.
