A member asked:
I had blood work done and results came back possible igg kappa monoclonal band is observed. i am 22 years old. is this possible?

Possible: I would focus on the possible comment. Immunofixation results are notoriously poorly reported. Without careful confirmation i would believe this to be an over interpretation, especially in a 22 yo.

Yes, but not : Necessarily worrisome. A monoclonal response may be seen after an infection. See this site for more information. It would be prudent for you to follow your doctor's instructions for periodic follow-up testing. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/monoclonal-gammopathy/ds00870.
