Interpretation
The physiologic significance of serum immunoglobulin D (IgD) concentration is unclear and in many normal persons serum IgD is undetectable.
Increased concentrations may be due to polyclonal (reactive) or monoclonal plasma cell proliferative processes.
A monoclonal IgD protein is present in 1% of patients with myeloma. Monoclonal IgD proteins are often in low concentrations and do not have a quantifiable monoclonal protein on serum protein electrophoresis. However, the presence of an IgD monoclonal protein is almost always indicative of a malignant plasma cell disorder such as multiple myeloma or primary amyloidosis.
