A member asked:
Have lupus. being tested for possible autoimmune liver diseases. recent blood work showed immunoglobulin m elevated at 470 (range 26-217). ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, a single test like slightly elevated IgM is not meaningful. Lupus is a complicated illness and the individual needs to be treated, not a lab test result. Wish you good health.
