You would need to have at least a telemedicine visit. If these results were abnormal you are best seeing a hematologist in person , or via telemedicine

In all likelihood you doctor wanted to rule a disorder of the immune system in general and multiple myeloma in particular. Wait for the results rather than getting ahead of yourself.

Good evening doctors. Is the immunofixation of the serum blood test which checks for monoclonal proteins the same as the urine test for amyloydosis which looks for light chain monoclonal?
Very good afternoon doctors. I had an immunofixation serum blood test which was normal with no monoclonal proteins found. I had proteinuria on the urinalysis. When should I repeat this immunofixation test?
I got bloodwork done and this was the result: IMMUNOFIXATION SERUM Monoclonal protein identified as faint IgM kappa. What does this mean? Thank you
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?
Good evening doctors. I had an immunofixation blood test which was negative--no monoclonal proteins were found. Does this negative results completely rule out renal kidney multiple myeloma and or renal kidney amloydosis?
