A member asked:

Resent blood work states igm 875, an appearant polyclonal glammopathy igm, kappa and lambda light chains appear increased. possible multiple myeloma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
