Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your results indicate that the immunoglobulin or antibody titers are within normal limits. Raised levels usually indicate an infection.  IgA is usually secreted  by mucous membranes, particularly those lining the respiratory passages and gastrointestinal tract, as well as in saliva and tears. IgG  the most abundant type of antibody, is found in all body fluids and protects against bacterial and viral infections.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

So as long as they are both less than 20.0 they are ok?
