A member asked:
Serum immunofixation says igm kappa in beta2, but urine immunofixation says small discrete band noted in gamma region, no m protein. is this mgus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MGUS: Sounds like monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (mgus). Cannot say much more without knowing other clinical features -- eg lymphadenopathy, cbc, "crab" symptoms (hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, bone disease).

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.
