Do low total IgM antibody levels affect our ability to fight infections?

Do These levels look low?

Healthy people have IgM levels between 0,4 - 2,1 g/L, so your results seem completely normal.

For years, I had Selective IgM Deficiency, since my total IgM antibodies were below the reference range.

Recently, I was surprised to see that my total IgM antibodies were now within the reference range, even though my total IgM antibody levels had not changed.

It turns out that the laboratory had expanded the reference range.

Usually they give you a hint under the result. Cool lab!

Hi, @Cipher, @Pyrrhus, and @Martin aka paused||M.E.

If you have the time, and the brain energy, would you be willing to look at my post about testing my IgG, IgA, and IgM levels? If not, no worries!

If you can, here's a link to the thread. Thanks!
