Causes of elevated immunoglobulins

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the immunoglobulin with the largest molecular weight. It is mainly secreted and synthesized by plasma cells in the spleen and lymph nodes. IgM has powerful bactericidal, complement activation, immune regulation and agglutination effects, and is also involved in the pathological process of certain autoimmune diseases and hypersensitivity reactions.

Hematological tumors, such as multiple myeloma IgM type, are a rare type of multiple myeloma that can also show an abnormal increase in immunoglobulin M.

It is seen in macroglobulinemia, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, early viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and some infectious diseases. If IgM increases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.
