I meant my wife has hepatitis B. Sorry for the wrong spelling
Inflammation due to hepatitis B.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for asking query on HealthcareMagic.
The immunofixation blood test is used to identify proteins called immunoglobulins in blood. Too much of the same immunoglobulin is usually due to different types of blood cancers .IgG, IgA and IgM are three primary type of antibodies formed against antigen of hepatitis B.In your case igG is just mildly elevated which has no clinical relevsnce.It may be possible that she is infected now therefore only her IgG are raised threfore a reat test is suggested after few months.
In case of multiple myeloma both kappa and lambda are not icreased rather one among them is increased.So most likely its due to an inflammatory condition like Mild
Hepatitis.
Hope i cleared your doubts feel free to follow up desr.

Thank you for your reply. just to clarify to be at risk of multiple myeloma or MGUS. Both kappa and lambda has to be increased? and after reviewing the test result I attached, is her kappa and lambda increased of just her lambda? Please clarify. Thank you very much for your help.
I ask this question because on the note at the end of the report. It only mentions a" faint ill-defined band of IgG, type Lambda" not kappa. Thank you very much for your time.
A faint ill-defined band of IgG, type Lambda, is
detected.
Please submit another specimen for immunofixation
electrophoresis in 6-12 months to confirm

Detailed Answer:
In that case one of the chain would be highly raised.
Laboratory analysis of your blood may reveal the M proteins produced by myeloma cells. Another abnormal protein produced by myeloma cells — called beta-2-microglobulin — may be detected in your blood
Urine show bence XXXXXXX protein.
Basically report is inconclusive hence things have to be repeated after 12 month.


i promise this is the last question for you on this. Many thanks
