Hi
Now your concern is pretty genuine, I suppose that you do not any symptoms ,this IgG K could be Monoclonal gammapathy of unknown significance
you should make sure that
1 a bone marrow is done
2 your Hemogram and kidney function tests with serum ca is done
3 please forward the value of Ig G band
now if this is MGUS then there is 1 -2 % chance of progression to multiple myeloma
all this but we neeed more details before diagnosing this condition
Take care
