Elevated Immunoglobulin levels typically indicate an current infection in the body. What kind of infection is determined by the type of immunoglobulins that are elevated. Immunoglobulins are membrane bound to naive B cell. An antibody is a secreted form of immunoglobulin that is used to fight infection directly or indirectly in various ways. Elevated immunoglobulin levels could also be a result of some lymphomas, especially if one particular immunoglobulin is extremely elevated over the others due to clonal expansion of the mylomal tumor.
