No: Myeloma is monoclonal. I trust you do not have urinary light chains. Most polyclonal stuff means nothing. If you are symptomatic, look for another cause of any symptoms.

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.
