May be the Sjogrens: This could be a sign of light chain disease, caused by your sjogrens, or may be meaningless and never cause problems. Your best bet is to ask your doctor. Because they know your history and physical problems it will be easier to nswer your question. By ordering the test ( this is not a test routinely ordered) your doctor has shown concern over a problem and most likely will have an explanation.
