2016年4月16日 · These data allowed the researchers to determine what type of MGUS the survey participants had – IgM MGUS, non-IgM MGUS, or light chain MGUS. In addition, the researchers were able to determine the MGUS patient's risk-of-progression category, using three criteria described by Mayo Clinic researchers in an oft-cited 2005 study .

2017年12月15日 · Given you have no lytic or focal lesions and are only slightly anemic, I would be quite optimistic that an M-spike of 1.4 g/dL only means a diagnosis of something like MGUS. You may also want to go back and look at your lab results and see what your calcium and creatinine levels are doing.

2017年11月8日 · Hi Flowers, The serum immunofixation test is a rather sensitive test. Since it's negative for any monoclonal protein whatsoever, it's suggesting that the reason your father's kappa free light chain level is elevated is because excess polyclonal (not monoclonal) kappa light chains are floating free in his blood.

2015年9月18日 · Unfortunately his immunoglobulins are still surpressed at IgG: 683 IgM: 17 and IgA: 24. With the m-spike of .3 that leaves his healthy IgG low but doctor doesn't want to do give him any infusion unless he feels like he is getting sick (which thank goodness he doesn't). We know the Revlimid can surpress these so we will keep watch on it.

2016年6月3日 · Hello again everyone, I hope you're all doing well. If you will recall from my earlier posts, I am in the process of evaluation for MGUS / multiple myeloma / amyloidosis, etc. Up until recently my results had all indicated no monoclonal proteins (negative serum electrophoresis, negative serum immunofixation, negative urine electrophoresis), and the only abnormalities discovered were a very ...

2015年5月21日 · IgM - normal C reactive protein - normal Lymphocytes - very low (forgot to write down number) CKD stage 3 with eGFR of 52 (in range creatinine and BUN) Hyperparathyroid - high at 143 Calcium - 1.07 normal Prior bone density (6 months ago) showed worsening osteoarthritis Oddly, there was no immunoglobulin detected.

2017年7月6日 · Hi heartnc, Welcome to the forum. These measurements can be confusing. The M-spike that is measured in urine is quite different than then M-spike that is measured in the blood serum. The urine M-spike measures monoclonal free LIGHT chains (aka Bence Jones
