What does monoclonal spike known as igg kappa mean in an immunofixation report?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: A monoclonal spike is suggestive of a plasma cell disorder. It may be relatively benign (mgus) or much more serious (myeloma, Waldenstrom's)

A member asked:
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

A member asked:
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?
