IgM Price in Bangladesh

What is IgM?

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is one of the five classes of antibodies produced by the immune system and is primarily involved in the body's initial defense against infections. It is the largest antibody and is typically the first to be produced in response to an infection.

IgM is predominantly found in blood and lymphatic fluid and plays a crucial role in recognizing and neutralizing pathogens like bacteria and viruses. Elevated levels of IgM can indicate an acute or recent infection, certain autoimmune conditions, or chronic immune responses.

Low levels may point to immune deficiencies or other underlying conditions. IgM testing helps diagnose infections and monitor immune system health.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
