High protein in urine, unsure of the results

That’s a good question to ask your hematologist, @mandm4evers. Have you had the bone marrow biopsy? What did it show?

The bone marrow biopsy is used rarely enough that it reveals whatever the hematologist says it reveals. I prefer the "serum Free Light Chain" (sFLC). I have had several of each, and the sFLC seems to be considerably more consistent, although both can easily be ignored by various specialists. The more meaningful question is whether your urine in the toilet makes a foam. I track mine by how large the bubbles get, and how thick the foam is. Lots of foam often means lots of protein, which means Amyloidosis. Mine is Gelsolin and MGUS. oldkarl

I have not had a bone marrow biopsy, kind of nervous about that one.
The hematologist suggested to get one, how many have you had?
Thanks Debbie
