Overview
Hypergammaglobulinemia is an immunoproliferative disorder with elevated levels of gamma globulin (immunoglobulins or antibodies).[1][2]
Pathophysiology
- Hypergammaglobulinemia is an immunoproliferative disorder which arises from B cells, which are a type of white cells that are normally involved in the development of humoral immunity by secreting antibodies.[3]
- Hypergammaglobulinemias may be caused by an excess of immunoglobulin M (IgM) or by a deficiency in the other major types of immunoglobulins.[4]
