Poly vs monoclonal: There are many causes of elevation of acute phase reactants and poly (many) clonal gammaglobulins (iga, igg, igm, etc). Polyclonal elevations are not the same as multiple myeloma (mm). Mm is cancer of plasma cells that produces a monoclonal (or sometimes oligoclonal or non-secretory) production of immunoglobulins.

Not likely: Probably perfectly healthy. The globulin fraction is 3.6 (9.1-5.5). Was it the igg that was 460?

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.
