Igg levels

I have had many issues since having the mesh surg to correct bladder issues. But-blood test since surg are showing that my Igg blood levels are low now. They were not low prior to surg. Could my body be rejecting or responding to the mesh?

Thanks, it didnt make sense to me either.  I dont know if the igg levels dropping was just coincidental to the mesh implants, and something else is going on.

I have noot seen any information to answer your question. If you had a synthetic mesh placed, it should not affect your immune system. However, it is theoretically possible that an animal or humsn derived product  might cause an immune response. I will check some more on this and get back to you.
