I have IgA lambda MGUS. Has anyone been able to find out anything about it? I see a hematologist at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago, and luckily I don't need any treatment, but the cloning level keeps rising every time I'm tested. The only thing I've seen about IgA is that it has a less positive prognosis than IgG. But that's it; nothing more about it. Anyway, I just want the cloning to stop. Does anyone else have this type of MGUS? If so, please let me know what's going with you. Thanks.

responding to @teedee66. It is my understanding that MGUS is a benign condition that means there is a higher than normal level of a protein M in your blood. At least this is what my doctor has explained to me, and that sometimes it can lead to more serious problems such as being more at risk for certain types of blood cancers. I recently had some IgG lab tests completed, all of which were flagged. Sadly, my doctor could not explain all of them and has referred me to a hematologist for further workup because I also have Lambda Kappa Light Chain disorders that also showed up in recent labs. Once I see the hematologist, I hope, like you, to have a more clear understanding, My doctor has suggested to me that there is a concern that I may have multiple myeloma, which was startling. However, I am not giving it much thought until I know for certain that I do in fact, have this condition that killed my father.
I hope you find what you are looking for.
