Slightly elevated beta fraction from serum protein electrophoresis. beta 1.07 (high) (0.52-0.98) increased beta fraction, no monoclonal or polyclonal gammopathy seen. immunofixation normal.

This report is of no: These values are of no particular concern. This test is mainly useful to check for monoclonal peaks...Which you do not have.

A member asked:
When do you use immunofixation protein electrophoresis instead of regular serum protein electrophoresis ? Is it more informative ? What about serum immunoglobulins?

Will the serum protein electrophoresis test tell me anything that the immunofixation test would not tell me?

I had a serum immunofixation and serum electrophoresis run and the interpretation was suspicious of monoclonal gammopathy and IgG lambda. What does this mean? The beta and gamma globulin where at 0.6 and 0.7 g/dl?
High KAPPA/LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN/slightly high ratio.No Monoclonal protein immunofixation or serum electrophoresis. Is this a type of cancer?Normal WBC
Serum free light chain test shows normal kappa (8.7mg/dl), low lambda (3.80), high kap/lam ratio (2.31). Serum $ urine electrophoresis show no monoclonal protein, nor does serum immunofixation. Likely MGUS, myeloma, or admyloidosis? CBC/met panel ok.
Serum protein electrophoresis showed elevated beta-2 globulin, 5.3 g/L (reference range 2.0-5.0 g/L). What further testing could be done to rule out multiple myeloma, aside from immunofixation and quantitative immunoglobin?
I've had an electrophoresis test done, serum & urine. Results show a spike in the beta and gamma regions. No monoclonal protein. What does this mean? I have proteinuria and fsgs stage 3. I am 50
