What does a high gamma globulin mean?

Increased gamma globulin proteins may indicate: Blood cancers, including multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, lymphomas, and chronic lymphocytic leukemias. Chronic inflammatory disease (for example, rheumatoid arthritis) Acute infection. Chronic liver disease.

What are the symptoms of high globulin?

Investigating the cause of a raised globulin level

• Bone pain (myeloma).
• Night sweats (lymphoproliferative disorders).
• Weight loss (cancers).
• Breathlessness, fatigue (anaemia).
• Unexplained bleeding (lymphoproliferative disorders).
• Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (amyloidosis).
• Fever (infections).

What can raise globulin levels?

High levels may indicate infection, inflammatory disease or immune disorders. High globulin levels may also indicate certain types of cancer, such as multiple myeloma, Hodgkin’s disease, or malignant lymphoma. However, abnormal results may be due to certain medications, dehydration, or other factors.

Can stress cause high globulin?

After the first exposure to stress a relative alpha1-globulin increase was observed. After 10 stress exposures the hitherto neutral stimulus alone produced a conditioned increase in the alpha1-globulin fraction.

Can high globulin be treated?

Since hypergammaglobulinemia is caused by other conditions, there aren’t many direct treatment options available. But you can improve or cure this condition by treating other underlying infections, immune disorders, and diseases. One uncommon treatment for this condition is immunoglobulin replacement therapy.

Why would immunoglobulin A be high?

If your immunoglobulin level is high, it might be caused by: Allergies. Chronic infections. An autoimmune disorder that makes your immune system overreact, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or celiac disease.

How do you treat high globulin levels?

Exercise more often. Both aerobic and strength exercise may help significantly decrease globulin levels in people [14]. In both men and women, more days per week of either aerobic or strength exercise were significantly associated with lower globulin [14].

What is 3.8 globulin?

All Ages. 1.8-3.8. Use: The globulin test measures the amounts of alpha, beta and gamma globulins in the blood and is used for the diagnosis of blood diseases such as Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia or multiple myeloma, acute infections or chronic inflammatory conditions.

What is the normal range for globulin?

Normal value ranges are: Serum globulin: 2.0 to 3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 20 to 35 grams per liter (g/L) IgM component: 75 to 300 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 750 to 3,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L)

What is a normal globulin level?

What causes high IgG levels?

IgG. High levels of IgG may mean a long-term (chronic) infection, such as HIV, is present. Levels of IgG also get higher in IgG multiple myeloma, long-term hepatitis, and multiple sclerosis (MS).
