I was diagnosed with MGUS 8 years ago (I'm 69) and my kappa and kappa/lambda have slowly been ramping up; kappa is now 132 mg/L and kappa/lambda is 13. My hematologist says these plus other markers aren't high enough yet for a bone marrow biopsy. I do take 2000 mg/day of bioavailable curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric, which is otherwise poorly absorbed); we'll see if that affects labs. No MGUS symptoms yet. I like to think of the plasma cells as being deranged, rather than precancerous. Here is one link for kappa MGUS: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32772824/.

@kayabbott my recent kappa light chains is 26.3, lambda is 11 and ratio 2.39 and my Hematologist Oncologist at my local hospital wants to do Bone marrow test. But my numbers seem so low. What do u think. U give me hope.
