M58, could ra factor test rule out rhemetoid artheratis and protein electrophoresis, serum calcium, fbc, esr rule out multiple myleoma up to some extnt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The ccp antibody is a more specific test for ra. 20-25% of people with RA have a negative rheumatoid factor. The protein electrophoresis is an important diagnostic test for myeloma but the diagnosis is really made through a bone marrow exam. A normal spep, however, rules out myeloma.

My total protein had been increasing, so my dr had me test for multiple myeloma. Protein had come down to normal,no m-spike observed, everything normal except a slightly elevated kappa of 21.5 in serum (but normal in urine). Could I still have cancer?

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?
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.
I had a 24 hour Urine Protein Electrophoresis Test. My total Protein was 4 mg/ dL. UAlbumin 0.6, UAphla 1 0.5, UAlpha 2 0.6, UBeta, 0.7, and UGamma 1.7. No M spike observed. Are these normal ranges? Does this rule out Myeloma and Amyloidsis?
