A member asked:

Low m spike below 1 but 14 percent plasma cells what does this mean no crab features?

Dr. Howard Shapiro answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Nephrology & Dialysis

More information: The 14% plasma cells is a worrisome feature. You will need some more sophisticated tests to know whether or not you have myeloma or a related problem. If the studies are not available in Katmandu, your physician should be able to send blood samples away for the results

If bone marrow aspirate results are reported as 10% plasma cells, does that mean smouldering myeloma? Is the core biopsy plasma cell % likely to be higher? I have an m-spike of 11.4 g/l IGA LAMBDA, low IGG and IGM. Am I in for scans next?
