I got bloodwork done and this was the result: immunofixation serum monoclonal protein identified as faint igm kappa. what does this mean? thank you

Need more info: 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, what you described is consistent with benign monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. About 5% of people older than 65 have these. Please follow your doctor's advice for repeat tests.

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.
