Hi @shannyd. You mentioned that your albumin/creatine ration is high. The protein in your urine, in this case, is albumin. It’s not the same protein that is found in patients with MGUS which stands for: monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance.

Sometimes, plasma cells can create abnormal proteins. These abnormal proteins are called M proteins, or monoclonal proteins or M spikes. This is not the same as albumin.

It’s really challenging when you get blood results that are flagged and have no idea what they mean! Our minds take us to worst case scenario and often, to Dr Google. Right? ☺️ It this case, it will be better for you to wait until Tuesday to see what your doctor has to say. Have you had a UTI recently?

@shannyd Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It's very easy to get concerned when seeing results we weren't expecting. I agree with @loribmt to not go down the rabbit hole of Dr. Google. That's downright scary and can bring unwanted anxiety!

Here, sit with me at the table, a cuppa tea and a few cookies are set up for you. Let's talk about your fears and concerns. Take some time to write out what is most concerning. Come Tuesday, you'll be ready to calmly listen, and ask any questions.
