What does monoclonal igg-kappa in the blood point to?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune cell problem: Igg-kappa is a type of antibody your body makes to help fight infections, etc. Normally one make lots of different types of igg-kappa. When it is monoclonal, one specific igg-kappa has become very predominant. This can happen in response to an infection, if the immune system is not regulated properly, or in certain malignancies like multiple myeloma. Talk with your doctor for more information.

A member asked:
Kappa/lambda FLC ratio high (2.75) w/ normal K(10.21mg/dl) & low L(3.68mg/dl). Hem-onc unsure if ratio implies K monoclonality since serum/urine IFE ok & neither chain is elevated. Could monoclonal K be suppressing L? IgA a bit high IgG &IgM a bitlow

A member asked:
Is elevated kappa/lambda ratio on serum FLC test inherently monoclonal, even if neither kappa or lambda is elevated? Ratio high b/c lambda is low, not because of high kappa. SPEP/UPEP & IFE normal. High IgA, low IgG. Clean marrow biopsy. Polyclonal?
