Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune response. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease, the body produces autoantibodies, including IgG, that mistakenly target its own tissues. Elevated levels of certain IgG autoantibodies are often associated with lupus, contributing to the disease's pathogenesis and associated symptoms. Monitoring IgG levels can help in diagnosing and managing lupus.
