Immunoglobulin M (IgM)
The Immunoglobulin M (IgM) blood test measures the level of IgM antibodies, which are typically the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a new infection.
IgM levels can rise during acute infections and may provide useful information when investigating recent immune responses.
Abnormal IgM levels may be associated with infections, autoimmune conditions, or certain immune disorders.
This test is often requested as part of an immunoglobulin panel or when recent infection is suspected.
