A member asked:
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?

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, such a finding is not uncommon with advancing age. Your doctor will probably repeat the test a 6-12 months to assess if the monoclonal IgG lambda is increasing. 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.

Slightly elevated beta fraction from serum protein electrophoresis. Beta 1.07 (high) (0.52-0.98) increased beta fraction, no monoclonal or polyclonal gammopathy seen. Immunofixation normal.
What does elevated Igg-2364 and gamma globulin 2.2 mean with polyclonal gammopathy and Kappa and lambda typing increased?
This is for my mother, aged 55. High serum kappas (33), normal lambdas and marginally high kappa lambda ratio (1.9). SPEP and Immunofixation show polyclonal gammopathy (in IgG Kappa and Lambda). Should we be concerned about MGUS/Myeloma ?
I took a Immunofixation serum test in December and it was negative. I took it again in January and February. The IFE interpretation says: IgG kappa monoclonal band present. A faint monoclonal free lambda light chain is detected. Do I have cancer?
