A member asked:
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?

Not necessarily: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, why were these tests done? Do you have any symptoms? Both myeloma and amyloidosis are unlikely. 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.
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?
My total protein had been increasing, so my dr had me test for multiple myeloma. Protein had come down to normal,no m-spike observed, everything normal except a slightly elevated kappa of 21.5 in serum (but normal in urine). Could I still have cancer?
M58, could RA factor test rule out rhemetoid artheratis and protein electrophoresis, serum calcium, fbc, ESR rule out multiple myleoma up to some extnt?
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?
