A member asked:
Immunofixation, serum fah = monoclonal igg kappa immunoglobulin. beta fah = 10.5% abnormal band, immunofixation to follow. i'm iga deficient too. ??

Possibly: If I am understaning this right you have a monoclonal protien band? The most important next steps here would be to identify the band (immunofixation) and then perfrom quantitvaive immunoglobulin levels. IF there is a monoclonal band, you may very well have reciprocal depriciation of alternative immunoglobulins and IgA deficiecny with an IgG monoclonal protein is possible.

Significance of mildly low IgG(691; 700-1600) & mildly high IgA(400; 90-386)? IgM ok. No monoclonal protein on serum electropho/immunofix & not getting sick more often. Am I immunocompromised? Will rabies vaccine fail? Titer >.5 IU/ml in Oct 2015.

Gave plasma, leading to tests (cbc, SPEP, immunofixation, FLC). Waiting for hemo consult. Have high IGA (7.09g/l) but low IGG (3.05) &low IGM(.15). Monoclonal IGA type lambda found (8.5mg/l), lambda=33.4mg/l, but LC ratio ok. Am I immune compromised?

A member asked:
I tested immunoglobulins, absolute values were normal (at low end) but % were igg 80%, iga 10%, igm 10%. is there a problem with iga and igm?

Kappa/lambda FLC ratio high (2.75) w/ normal K(10.21mg/dl) & low L(3.68mg/dl). Hem-onc unsure if ratio implies K monoclonality since serum/urine IFE ok & neither chain is elevated. Could monoclonal K be suppressing L? IgA a bit high IgG &IgM a bitlow
Is elevated kappa/lambda ratio on serum FLC test inherently monoclonal, even if neither kappa or lambda is elevated? Ratio high b/c lambda is low, not because of high kappa. SPEP/UPEP & IFE normal. High IgA, low IgG. Clean marrow biopsy. Polyclonal?
More info on serum immunofixation..no monoclonal proteins detected.a faint IgG labda cannot be ruled out.suggest repeat 6 mths.igg 841 IgA 251 IgM 44.
I have had two Quantitative serum immunoglobulin tests in 2 months my IGG, IGA was normal my IGM was low on both test what could this mean?
I took a Immunofixation serum test in December and it was negative. I took it again in January and February. The IFE interpretation says: IgG kappa monoclonal band present. A faint monoclonal free lambda light chain is detected. Do I have cancer?
