My urinalysis showed a higher than normal protein level (think mine was 12) i tested negative for proturia and my dr said negative for multiple myloma?

Proteinuria: >150 mg: Proteinuria (abnormally high level of protein in urine) is usually defined as more than 150 milligrams of protein in urine per day. Proteinuria may be seen in a variety of diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure), many associated with kidney problems. Multiple myeloma is a form of blood and bone marrow cancer that can cause significant proteinuria. Urine protein electrophoresis may be necessary.

My dr said my urinalysis showed higher proteins. Neg for proturia and no multiple myloma. Why is he sending me to a hematologist? Ur pro 12. Alb 32.9
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.
Having a protein level of 9.1 does that mean you have myeloma I am a dibectic or does protein come from being a dibectic.
Would Waldenstrom macroglob/mult myeloma definitely show abnormal total protein or abnormal a/g ratio? Protein 7.7, alb 4.7, alb 3.0,a/g ratio 1.5
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?
