Unlikely: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, it is unlikely that you have myeloma. There are other causes of elevated globulins. However it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without physical examination and additional tests. Consult your doctor.

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?

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

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.
