Does mgus change with unhealthy body and have low immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does not: Monoclonal gammopathy does not make you unhealthy or suppress your immune system. You are at somewhat increased risk in the future for plasma cell myeloma, but there's no point in worrying yourself about this. Best wishes.

A member asked:
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.
