Budgie Feather IgG

Budgie Feather IgG


The Budgie Feather IgG blood test measures IgG antibodies produced by your immune system in response to exposure to budgie feathers. Elevated levels may be associated with ongoing or repeated exposure and can support the investigation of conditions such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis (also known as bird fancier’s lung). This test is recommended for individuals who keep budgies or are regularly exposed to birds and experience respiratory symptoms. Results should always be interpreted alongside your clinical history and symptoms by a healthcare professional.
