Overview
The IgM total serum test measures the level of IgM antibodies in your blood. IgM is one of the five main types of antibodies, and it's the first one your body produces in response to an infection. This test is done to help diagnose two main conditions: IgM monoclonal gammopathies and IgM-related immune deficiencies. Monoclonal gammopathies are abnormal growths of plasma cells (immune system cells) that produce large amounts of a single type of antibody, potentially IgM in this case. On the other hand, immune deficiencies involve a weakened immune system, and a low IgM level might indicate difficulty fighting off infections.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test measures the total amount of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies present in your blood. IgM is significant as the first line of defense against pathogens, crucial for combating infections effectively, and provides valuable insight into your immune system's health.
- Detect or monitor IgM monoclonal gammopathies.
- Monitor IgM-related immune deficiencies.
- Assess the immune system's health to combat infections effectively.
- Evaluate the response to treatment for certain conditions.
- Monitoring IgM-related conditions
- Suspected immune system deficiencies or over activity
- Persistent infections or recurrent illnesses
- Previous diagnosis of related conditions
- Undergoing treatment affects the immune system
Abnormal results may indicate immune system disorders, infections, or cancers. High levels suggest active infection or autoimmune diseases, while low levels could signify immune deficiency or recent antibody production. Consult your doctor for further evaluation and diagnosis.

Immunoglobulin M Test or Serum IgM Test
Monoclonal gammopathy refers to abnormal levels of proteins called immunoglobulins produced by identical plasma cells, often associated with conditions like multiple myeloma or Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia following an IgM Total Serum test.
