Can stress cause higher serum light chain numbers? Kappa slightly elevated (21.5), lambda normal, k/l ratio normal. Kappa, lambda, k/l ratio in urine all normal. No M protein observed. I have stress and anxiety..just wondering if this could affect.

Dr ran a protein electrophoresis test on me (both urine and blood). Kappa light chains slightly elevated/flagged in serum (21.5) but normal range in urine. No M spike observed and all other values normal. Chances of cancer small?

High KAPPA/LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN/slightly high ratio.No Monoclonal protein immunofixation or serum electrophoresis. Is this a type of cancer?Normal WBC

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.
