What Is IFE M Spike? Result IgG Kappa Band Present Value 5140
The IFE (Immunofixation Electrophoresis) test is used to identify specific types of monoclonal proteins, also known as M proteins or M spikes, in the blood or urine. When the result mentions an "IgG kappa band present" with a value of 5140, it indicates the presence of a monoclonal IgG kappa type protein in the blood at Show Full Answer
The M-Spike is the amount of abnormal protein in the blood. The normal range is >30g/L. Please see an MM Specialist to start treatment ASAP. Good luck to you.
Hi Janet. I have never had much m protein in my urine, even when my serum m protein was very high.
Hello Blee. I have read your question and I’m sorry I can’t answer it with any great knowledge. I recently did a 24 hour urine specimen. The result was nil . My haematologist said he was looking for more m protein as it would show the amount of mm, but it didn’t show anything. Also I have lambda iGg.
The information in this article explains it very well. Myeloma patients usually need a bone marrow biopsy to confirm and identify the correct myeloma type we have. Immunofixation is a more precise test than the serum protein electrophoresis. When I finally lost the band in the lambda region on my immunofixation, I knew my treatments were working. Did you have a bone marrow biopsy?
Is M Protein = Kappa Paraprotein + Lambda Paraprotein ?
I’ve Yet Another Odd Question. Can You Have Say IgA Kappa Light Chain And IgG Lambda At The Same Time?
