Multiple myeloma or AL amyloidosis come to mind. Presence of anemia,high serum calcium,bone pain are characteristics of myeloma. Both plasma cell dyscrasias can cause kidney damage & have elevated serum lambda or kappa light chains. A hematologist oncologist is best to evaluate & advise you. A serum& urine immunofixation,24 hour urine total protein are often key. Congo red stain shows amyloid

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 information you provided is insufficient to provide any meaningful opinion. Wish you good health!
