This MMR titer test measures your blood for IgG antibodies to help evaluate your immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella via prior infection or vaccination.

This MMR blood test measures your IgG antibody levels to help evaluate your immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. The MMR test is useful for those who are unsure about a prior infection or require proof of immunity for school, work, or travel. Buy your own MMR immunity test online with Quest. No doctor’s visit is required – simply purchase MMR testing, visit a nearby Quest® location for sample collection, and get fast results.

Who Is This For?

Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Those in the first trimester needing standard prenatal screening. Women with risk factors for gestational diabetes or infections. Anyone wanting to confirm immunity to rubella and other infections before conception.

What's Included

Blood type and Rh factor
Complete blood count (CBC)
Rubella immunity
Hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis screening
Additional tests as ordered by your provider

Preparation varies by specific test. Gestational diabetes screening requires drinking a glucose solution and waiting 1–2 hours. Most other prenatal blood tests don't require fasting. Bring your pregnancy records and a list of any medications or supplements you're taking.

Biomarkers Tested

13
IgG mg/dL

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody in the blood, important for fighting bacterial and viral infections.

Haemoglobin (HGB) g/dL

The iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout your body and returning carbon dioxide to the lungs. Low haemoglobin is the primary marker for anemia and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.

Red Blood Cell Count × 10¹²/L

Measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders.

White Blood Cell Count × 10⁹/L

Measures the total number of white blood cells, your body's primary defense against infection. Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders, while low levels can signal bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.

Platelet Count × 10⁹/L

Measures the number of platelets, small cell fragments essential for blood clotting. Low platelets increase bleeding risk, while high platelets may increase clot risk. Important for monitoring clotting disorders and medication effects.

Haematocrit (HCT) %

The percentage of your blood volume occupied by red blood cells. It reflects the balance between red blood cell production and loss, helping diagnose anemia, dehydration, and polycythemia.

MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) fL

The average size of your red blood cells. Small cells (microcytic) suggest iron deficiency, while large cells (macrocytic) may indicate vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Normal-sized cells with low count suggest chronic disease.

MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) pg

The average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. Low MCH indicates that red blood cells carry less oxygen than normal, commonly seen in iron-deficiency anemia.

Neutrophils absolute × 10⁹/L

The most abundant type of white blood cell, forming the first line of defense against bacterial and fungal infections. Elevated neutrophils typically indicate active infection or inflammation.

Lymphocytes absolute × 10⁹/L

Measures the number of lymphocytes, including B cells and T cells that drive adaptive immunity. Elevated levels may indicate viral infections, while low levels can signal immune deficiency or HIV.

Monocytes absolute × 10⁹/L

Measures monocytes, the largest white blood cells. They mature into macrophages in tissues, where they engulf pathogens and dead cells. Elevated monocytes can indicate chronic infection or inflammatory conditions.

Eosinophils absolute × 10⁹/L

Measures eosinophils, white blood cells involved in fighting parasitic infections and mediating allergic responses. Elevated levels are associated with allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and certain autoimmune conditions.

Basophils absolute × 10⁹/L

The rarest type of white blood cell, involved in allergic reactions and inflammatory responses. Basophils release histamine and heparin, contributing to immediate hypersensitivity reactions.
