Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia? Can it be related to leukemia?
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your cocnern.
I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia is an increase in antibody levels in the blood in response to infection. If you have lymphoma or leukemia then, the result can be monoclonal in nature. Monoclonal means the same type of antibody forms. But the result does not show a monoclonal nature. So there is no need to worry. Here the result is in a polyclonal nature. It suggests towards infective etiology.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you
