A member asked:
Kappa/lambda flc ratio high (2.75) w/ normal k(10.21mg/dl) & low l(3.68mg/dl). hem-onc unsure if ratio implies k monoclonality since serum/urine ife ok & neither chain is elevated. could monoclonal k be suppressing l? iga a bit high igg &igm a bitlow

Useless test: K/L ratio is not a useful test. About one third of patients without monoclonal immunoglboulin have an abnormal ratio, usually with kappa excess. If you must, the next step would be a bone marrow examination. You may consult this article that I wrote: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27473738 At your age you are unlikely to have myeloma.

We need more inform: We need more information. next up is a bone marrow but I really doubt this is legacy. It would certainly be very unusual your age

A member asked:
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.

High IGA (7.09 g/l), and low IGG (3.05) and low IGM (.15). Beta1 globulin is high, beta2 and gamma are low. Protein Monoclonal band is detected type IGA at 8.5 g/l. FLC = high lambda at 33.4mg/l (normal kappa &ratio). Worried until I see hematologist?
Is elevated kappa/lambda ratio on serum FLC test inherently monoclonal, even if neither kappa or lambda is elevated? Ratio high b/c lambda is low, not because of high kappa. SPEP/UPEP & IFE normal. High IgA, low IgG. Clean marrow biopsy. Polyclonal?
Gave plasma, leading to tests (cbc, SPEP, immunofixation, FLC). Waiting for hemo consult. Have high IGA (7.09g/l) but low IGG (3.05) &low IGM(.15). Monoclonal IGA type lambda found (8.5mg/l), lambda=33.4mg/l, but LC ratio ok. Am I immune compromised?
Hema repeated bloodwork after monoclonal IGA lambda found. In one month, m-protein went from 8.5 g/l to 11.4. Is this jump significant? Other values remain out of range with IGA high & IGG, IGM low. Low gamma as well. CBC values ok and no BenceJones?
Significance of mildly low IgG(691; 700-1600) & mildly high IgA(400; 90-386)? IgM ok. No monoclonal protein on serum electropho/immunofix & not getting sick more often. Am I immunocompromised? Will rabies vaccine fail? Titer >.5 IU/ml in Oct 2015.
