A member asked:
If complement c3, ch50, serum protein electrophoresis, and immunofixation suggest severe infection, why is cbc normal? i've never had blood culture.

Lab data: Without placing values in a clinical context with full history, exam and all data it is pointless to speculate. You need to be evaluated by a physician and if the one you are seeing cannot provide answers, get a second opinion. Try seeing an infectious diseases expert.

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.
Lupus panel negative. Sed rate 30 should b under 20. Ana positive w/ spec pattern. Serum protein electrophoresis test normal. Cbc ok. Metabolic ok.?
WBC has been hi whole life. Latest result: Hi WBC, low RDW, hi Neutrophils, 2+ Occult Blood, positive ANA direct, hi Complement C3, Serum, hi antichromatin antibody. C reactive protein & sed rate normal. Does this point to anything or inconclusive?
My complement C3 was very high. I also had high blood serum protein , what could this possibly indicate?
Slightly elevated beta fraction from serum protein electrophoresis. Beta 1.07 (high) (0.52-0.98) increased beta fraction, no monoclonal or polyclonal gammopathy seen. Immunofixation normal.
