How To Interpret the IgM Serum Test Report
The IgM serum test results are read in terms of low or high levels of IgM in the blood. The normal ranges are as follows:
| Gender | Age | Normal range |
| Female | 1 Year | 0.20- 1.50 gm/L |
| 12 Years | 0.47- 2.40 gm/L | |
| Adult | 0.33- 2.93 gm/L | |
| Male | 1 Year | 0.20- 1.43 gm/L |
| 12 Years | 0.41- 1.83 gm/L | |
| Adult | 0.22- 2.40 gm/L |
Patients with high IgM (HIGM) syndrome are at risk of repeated opportunistic infections and an increase of cancer disease.
The low level of IgM in a patient's blood indicates immunodeficiency. IgM, IgA and IgG tests are usually done together to get the exact picture of immune system health.
