Question 9

48 yr old male avid runner always with minor muscle tears have itp .total protein 77g/l albumin 51 but ill defined faint band of igm kappa found?

Accepted Answer

No worry : Many topics here are related by the fact that they're all in the blood. The muscle tears are are only related to exercise. The protein and Albumin levels are nonspecific and not bad here. That kappa band needs to be followed up in 6 to 9 months. If it becomes a definite "spike", it may represent a new blood disorder. It may be a good time to line up a hematologist to follow up on these things.
