I have the same as you. I am having some balance problems too. Not sure if it’s the MGUS or meds I am taking. I am on some new medication.
Hi,
I have high Kappa 2.62 and high kappa/lambda ratio 1.94. My last blood work was 2 weeks ago, and now says I have IgM lambda protein present in serum, but does not say any levels or numbers by it. I went to Mayo in 2022 for cardiomyopathy. They did tests for cardiomyopathy and blood work that caught the high FLC. My Mayo Cardiologist did not think I have MM or amylodosis. I hope they are right. This is scary stuff. So far in my home town they are watching it, and I have blood draws every 6 months.
I hope you continue to get answers you need. It helps to know there are others out there with same findings. Best regards.

I've had balance problems since December 2023 and I have had every blood test and test done and my kappa was high but they said it was ok ..if it's high it's not ok 😕
My balance dr just said to not show my blood test to my oncologist 😭.
I don't have an oncologist..
But I have inquired at mayo clinic and I will be sending all my paperwork to them
Does this sound familiar 🤔 I'm tired of this and just want to know answers
