Description

When a person contracts Lyme disease, both IgG and IgM antibodies respond accordingly. The bacterial infection causes the immune system to ramp up, and this begins with the release of IgM antibodies. They are the first to seek out the source of the infection.

Overview

The IgM test measures the levels of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in the blood. IgM is the first antibody produced by the immune system in response to an infection. This test helps diagnose recent or acute infections, as well as evaluate immune system function.

Risk assessment

The IgM test is generally safe. Risks are mainly related to the blood draw, including minor pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site. There are no significant risks associated with the test itself.

Ranges

Normal IgM levels can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the population being tested. Typical reference ranges for IgM in adults are: 40 to 230 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) These ranges can differ for children, as IgM levels change with age.

Test result interpretation

Elevated IgM levels: May indicate a recent or acute infection, an autoimmune disease, or chronic inflammatory conditions. It can also be seen in some types of cancer, such as Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Low IgM levels: May suggest a weakened immune system, which can be due to congenital immune deficiencies, certain infections, or the use of immunosuppressive medications.
