A member asked:
Serum protein electrophoresis showed elevated beta-2 globulin, 5.3 g/l (reference range 2.0-5.0 g/l). what further testing could be done to rule out multiple myeloma, aside from immunofixation and quantitative immunoglobin?

Bone marrow : A bone marrow examination in addition to testing serum is an essential part of the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. It is imperative that you consult a hematologist/Oncologist. Wish you good health!

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.
M58, could RA factor test rule out rhemetoid artheratis and protein electrophoresis, serum calcium, fbc, ESR rule out multiple myleoma up to some extnt?
I had a serum immunofixation and serum electrophoresis run and the interpretation was suspicious of monoclonal gammopathy and IgG lambda. What does this mean? The beta and gamma globulin where at 0.6 and 0.7 g/dl?
Good evening doctors. Does immunofixation serum blood test with no monoclonal proteins found rule out multiple kidney myeloma? Is there a similar blood or urine test to rule out or rule in renal kidney amyloydosis?
I had a 24 hour Urine Protein Electrophoresis Test. My total Protein was 4 mg/ dL. UAlbumin 0.6, UAphla 1 0.5, UAlpha 2 0.6, UBeta, 0.7, and UGamma 1.7. No M spike observed. Are these normal ranges? Does this rule out Myeloma and Amyloidsis?
