This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.
Hypergammaglobulinemia is a condition that is characterized by the increased levels of a certain immunoglobulin in the blood serum.[1] The name of the disorder refers to an excess of proteins after serum protein electrophoresis (found in the gammaglobulin region).
Most hypergammaglobulinemias are caused by an excess of immunoglobulin M (IgM), because this is the default immunoglobulin type prior to class switching. Some types of hypergammaglobulinemia are actually caused by a deficiency in the other major types of immunoglobulins, which are IgA, IgE and IgG.
There are 5 types of hypergammaglobulinemias associated with hyper IgM.[2]== Additional Info ==
