A member asked:
I've had an elevated igm for 1 year along with systemic symptoms. no monoclonal antibody, free light chains or bence jones protein in urine so myeloma was eliminated and my infection screen and fbc is normal. what other diseases could cause high igm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many, but may just be you. I would get a one month subscription to uptodate.com and read about the most common causes and then discuss with your Drs. Anyone else in family with this?

Kappa/lambda FLC ratio high (2.75) w/ normal K(10.21mg/dl) & low L(3.68mg/dl). Hem-onc unsure if ratio implies K monoclonality since serum/urine IFE ok & neither chain is elevated. Could monoclonal K be suppressing L? IgA a bit high IgG &IgM a bitlow

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.
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?
Can monoclonal IgM kappa light chain gammopathy turn into multiple myeloma?
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?
Serum -tiny IgM kappa monoclonal protein b2 region, urine - tiny IgM k paraproteinemia in gamma region. Was a mistake made or is lab normal?
