Wife's immunofixation test said "a faint band in igm and lambda is present against a dense polyclonal background" albumin is 3.7 interpretation?

MGUS: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. A large number of older people have similar finding without any known illness. It would be prudent to repeat the test in a year or so. If the abnormality persists, yearly checks would be useful. Test for serum free light chains is useless.
