What Does Bilirubin Of 1.1 And IGM Of 30 Indicate?

I had a blood test and my bilirubin was 1.1 on January 3, 2012 and I had it done in Sept 2011 it was .09. I also have low IGM of 30 in Sept it was 35. I was treated recently for a plasma cytoma that was removed and then I was given 25 low level radiation treatments to the area. I am concerned about these results. The rest of the blood chemistry was in normal ranges.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. The results are almost good for you.
2. Low bilirubin is nothing to worry, indicating proper liver function.
3. In plasmacytoma, usually IGM levels will be extremely high. As you were given radiation, some suppression would have occurred and low level means the treatment has worked. Keep checking the levels for future folloup
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
