I too had a recent lab test which revealed an elevated light chain issue, and the test will be repeated next month. I understand your concern and would make sure you follow up with a hematologist, as I will be doing after I complete the second round of testing. One of my doctors has reassured me that the light chain results were rather low and probably not anything to worry about; however, since my father died of multiple myeloma I too am concerned as you are.

Welcome, @emurrell65. I can imagine you're nervous, not to mention confused when your doctor is not yet clear whether the light chains indicate a possible diagnosis of myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). I've moved your post to this existing discussion:

- MGUS and quite high Free Kappa Light Chain and Kappa Lambda Ratio https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mgus-and-quite-high-free-kappa-light-chain-and-kappa-lambda-ratio/

I did this so you can easily connect with others who are familiar with MGUS and myeloma. In addition to @frances007, fellow members like @raye @omemee @gina5009 @deborahjb @jart @pmm @myboyzr2 @anng53 @edna68 and many others can share their experiences with testing to get a diagnosis and what to expect.

@emurrell65, you mentioned you will be having more tests. What testing has been scheduled for you as a next step?
