Bone marrow disorder: It means that you are making too much of a single antibody or just a part of an antibody because one clone of plasma cells from your bone marrow has developed over the normal population. This can be a benign condition for many years or progress into a condition called multiple myeloma that needs treatment.

Maybe nothing: It depends which peak is elevated. The first peak is albumin, which is simply the total amount of protein in your blood. If this alone is elevated, it can mean you are dehydrated. Spikes in other places can mean multiple myeloma, so ask what protein band 1 is. If it's albumin, you're ok!
