See a Specialist: I will suggest you to see a specialist to personalize your life time risk of progression of MGUS. In general multiple factors such as age, gender, race, genetic predisposition, types of MGUS and duration of disease determines the course of progression. An specialist will able to answer your question with great deal of satisfaction.

No: Your risk of progressing to MM is 1 percent per year. You FP/Internist should be able to follow you appropriately- but be sure it gets followed yearly. Also, consider referral if you experience weight loss, night sweats, anorexia, malaise, or unexplained pain, or have unexplained anemia, urinary proteins.

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.

This is for my mother, aged 55. High serum kappas (33), normal lambdas and marginally high kappa lambda ratio (1.9). SPEP and Immunofixation show polyclonal gammopathy (in IgG Kappa and Lambda). Should we be concerned about MGUS/Myeloma ?
