Hypergammaglobulinaemia, unspecified - what does this mean

Hypergammaglobulinaemia is an abnormal increase in the production of gamma globulins, which are proteins in the blood that help fight infection. it is caused by an overactive immune system, which can be due to an autoimmune disorder, a chronic infection, or a tumor. it can also be caused by a genetic mutation or a drug reaction. symptoms may include fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.

What happens during the disease - hypergammaglobulinaemia, unspecified

Hypergammaglobulinaemia is an immune system disorder caused by an increase in the production of a type of antibody called gamma globulins. it is usually caused by an underlying autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, or an infection, such as hiv/aids. in some cases, it can be caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of gamma globulins. the increased gamma globulins can lead to a weakened immune system, making it more difficult for the body to fight off infections.
