What does elevated immunogloblin IgA mean?

First, what is an IGA? It is immunoglobulin - a type of antibody that protects against infections.

Elevated levels have to do with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. And now another question may arise from what elevated levels of IGA are involved with. Waldenstrom's Mcaroglobulinemia is a type of cancer invovling a subtype of white blood cells.

You should know, firstly this answer is completely wrong so please ignore it. Please if you need a proper answer ask a GP. Firstly it is not "IGA", but IgA. Elevated levels of IgA do NOT correspond to WM. IgA is found in mucosal areas (the moist areas such as throat, stomach etc). An elevated level MAY correspond to multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). It may also be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus and rheumatic athritis. Finally it is also associated with liver diseases such as hepatitis (however other clear signs are present).

I hope this helps, and please contact a health professional next time who will know the correct answer and not give false answers!
