A member asked:

Itp for 9 yrs .run 10km 5 days a week 40 minutes of each run is anaerobic. now ill dedfined faint band igm kappa found on last blood test is that ok ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you mean elevation of serum protein with a small "monoclonal" elevation of kappa igm, this likely is monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (mgus). Most cases never become clinically significant, but follow-up is needed to make sure it doesn't develop into multiple myeloma.
