Myeloma: that blood test doesn't have much significance. there are other blood and urine tests that would tell you whether you had myeloma or not.

A member asked:

Had panel due to fatigue and aches. All is well except Total Protein 8.4 (H) ALB 4.7 (H) Globulin 3.7 (H) A/G ratio - 1.27. Possible Myeloma? Normal?

A member asked:

I am 45 and male. Serum IgA at 472 mg/dl and an apparent polyclonal gammopathy IgA kappa/lambda typing appear increased. Serum free light chain: high kappa 35 mg/L, lambda normal 17.8 mg/L and a ratio of 1.97. Is this Myeloma? No M-protein found?

A member asked:

I had a 24 hour Urine Protein Electrophoresis Test. My total Protein was 4 mg/ dL. UAlbumin 0.6, UAphla 1 0.5, UAlpha 2 0.6, UBeta, 0.7, and UGamma 1.7. No M spike observed. Are these normal ranges? Does this rule out Myeloma and Amyloidsis?

A member asked:

My total protein had been increasing, so my dr had me test for multiple myeloma. Protein had come down to normal,no m-spike observed, everything normal except a slightly elevated kappa of 21.5 in serum (but normal in urine). Could I still have cancer?

A member asked:

I've had an elevated IgM for 1 year along with systemic symptoms. No monoclonal antibody, free light chains or Bence jones protein in urine so myeloma was eliminated and my infection screen and FBC is normal. What other diseases could cause high IgM?

Dr Heip Lee one more question. Are you believing it's myeloma when you said I imply. Or meaning I'm making assumption. I'm getting a mri without contrast is that useful? Had 0 protein on spep and the other test immune fixer upper or whatever. Thank?

M57, cbc, serum albumin, serum protein all normal does this mean I am clear of multiple myeloma?

Would Waldenstrom macroglob/mult myeloma definitely show abnormal total protein or abnormal a/g ratio? Protein 7.7, alb 4.7, alb 3.0,a/g ratio 1.5

What to do if I have protein found in my bloodwork and not had multiple myeloma?

I had blood work done and protein 9.1 and albumin 5.5 could it be multiple myeloma. Cbc all came back within normal range. Immunoglobulin was 460. ?
