Details about Mumps Antibodies (IgG)
What is the Mumps IgG Antibodies test?
The Mumps IgG Antibodies test is a blood test that detects IgG antibodies against the mumps virus. IgG antibodies indicate past exposure or vaccination and reflect long-term immune protection rather than active infection.
Mumps is a contagious viral illness that can cause fever, swelling of the salivary glands, and complications affecting the testes, ovaries, pancreas, or nervous system. This test is commonly used to assess immunity status, particularly for healthcare workers, students, or individuals with unknown vaccination history.
Why do I need a Mumps IgG Antibodies test?
Immunity to mumps cannot be reliably determined from symptoms alone. Blood testing provides objective confirmation of immune status.
You may need this test if you:
-
Need proof of immunity for work or study
-
Are a healthcare or care-sector worker
-
Have uncertain or missing vaccination records
-
Are planning travel
-
Are planning pregnancy
-
Require immunity screening
-
Have been exposed to mumps and need immunity confirmation
The test helps confirm whether you are protected or may require vaccination.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
