A member asked:

My blood came back saying i have i'll defined band of igm type lambda what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IgM: What it means is that your doctor is not taking good care of you. You must get an appointment to see a blood specialist. You might ask your friends if they know a good blood specialist. Can you please let me know how things work out.
