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, the data you provided is not interpretable without looking at the electrophoretic gels. Do follow your doctor's advice about follow up tests. Wish you good health!

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?

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 a free light chain kappa/lambda ratio of 13 relatively high or just a touch high, with abnormal monoclonal protein anti IgG and anti lambda? Under medical care. Just curious before follow up. Not expecting diagnosis. Positive Ana 1:320 homogeneous?
