The IgM test measures Immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels in the blood, which are the first antibodies produced in response to infections. It is used to diagnose acute or recent infections.
Individuals with symptoms of infections or autoimmune diseases or those suspected of having immunodeficiency should take this test.
