<human>: I have a high indicator on one of my antibodies test. It is Monoclonal gammopathy and was wondering what that indicator might be. I have sjogrens and also have sea ssB indicators for years. Will monitor other in a few months but cannot find info on this antibody. Thanks
<bot>: Hi dear thanks for your query would be happy to help firstly I want to tell you that monoclonal gammopathy is a disease of immunoglobulins ; in simple term "antibodies". The following preliminary investigation has to be done to confirm your diagnosis:1. CBC with PBS (routine blood count with peripheral blood smear)2. Calcium level (increased)3. Creatinine level (increased)4. X-ray of the spine and chest (bony lytic lesions)5. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (increase in plasma cells)6. Serum protein electrophoresis (M band seen). You need to do these tests as early as possible. Kindly share your reports once you receive them. Hope this helps. Thank follow up questions will be appreciated. Regards Chat Doctor.
