Immunoglobulin – IgM

Hypro Diagnostics specializes in assessing immunoglobulins, vital proteins defending the body against infections. These proteins, namely IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgE, originate from plasma cells and operate in distinct areas with varied functions. If there are concerns such as recurrent infections, unexplained weight loss, immune system evaluation, allergy symptoms, or suspected antibody deficiencies, Hypro Diagnostics may recommend an immunoglobulin check through a blood test. Of particular significance are IgM antibodies found in blood and lymph fluid, acting as the initial defense against new infections. Following an immune response, IgM levels peak, gradually giving way to IgG proteins. Hypro Diagnostics offers specialized IgM tests, providing results like IgM-negative (indicating no active infection) or IgM-positive (highlighting an ongoing infection). The tests can also reveal deviations in IgM levels, signaling deficiencies or severe active infections. Conditions warranting an Immunoglobulin IgM test with Hypro Diagnostics include IgM deficiency, insufficient IgG levels, gastrointestinal tract infections, pneumonia, and sinusitis. Results from these tests guide Hypro Diagnostics in tailoring precise treatment plans. Whether opting for a comprehensive immunoglobulin blood test panel or an individual antibody assessment, Hypro Diagnostics, as a specialized medical lab, ensures accurate diagnosis and effective medical interventions.
