Brief Answer: Considerations. Detailed Answer: hello and thank you for sending a question. Your question is a very good one and I will work on providing you with some information and reassurance. from the information you have submitted it does not appear that you have multiple myeloma. I do need to see some more information if you can provide it. It would be excellent if you could send a copy of the full report including any other laboratory studies you have had within the last few months. I'm sure you have read about multiple myeloma and some of the problems that can cause. It is something however that needs to be diagnosed with a very comprehensive laboratory evaluation. immunoglobulin levels can be somewhat confusing. It is important to take everything with InContext and also to check certain laboratory studies over a period of time. If there is some abnormality it is important to repeat the test and also to check it again within a few months in order to see if there is any type of change. during your reading you might come across another entity we call monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. This is something of a medical disorder where the immunoglobulin level is mildly elevated but does not indicate multiple myeloma. also it would be important to look at some of your other laboratory studies including your hemoglobin, platelet count, calcium level among other things. Again I don't think there is evidence of multiple myeloma at this time. I would like to see some additional information if you can provide it at some point in the near future and I will look forward to providing you with some additional information and guidance. Thanks again for sharing your healthcare concerns with me. Sincerely, Dr. Galamaga
