A member asked:
Is pregnancy with mgus considered to be high risk? if so do i need a specific type of o.b. on board?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly doubt MGUS: If there is an increase in proteins likely to be polyclonal, which would be related to chronic infection or inflammation. I would focus on the potential underlying illness, and the implications of that would have on a potential pregnancy.

This is for my mother, aged 55. High serum kappas (33), normal lambdas and marginally high kappa lambda ratio (1.9). SPEP and Immunofixation show polyclonal gammopathy (in IgG Kappa and Lambda). Should we be concerned about MGUS/Myeloma ?
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.
