The Immunoglobulin M (IgM), Total test measures the level of IgM antibodies in the blood. IgM is typically the first antibody produced by the immune system in response to a new infection and plays an important role in early immune defense.
This test is commonly used to evaluate immune system function and may help identify immune deficiencies, acute infections, or certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. IgM levels are often interpreted alongside IgG and IgA testing for a comprehensive assessment of immune status.
