What causes monoclonal paraproteinemia?

Excess of Plasma cel: Plasma cells in our bone marrow make antibodies. Sometimes they become overly active/reactive and produce abnormal proteins called paraproteins. Most such protein production is benign and not uncommon in older folks. Sometimes it is excessive(more than 1gram/day) then we get concerned about a condition called multiple myeloma (paraproteins over 3 grams).
