How Do Medical Professional Score MGUS Risk Of Advancing To MM? Say Based On M Spike Mg/dl Or IGG Concentration Or FLK Ratio Or Other?
For further expansion on the above answer you should look up the 20-2-20 test. Bone marrow cells above 20, lamba/kappa ratio above 20 and m protein above 2g/dl. If bone cells are over 10% you are then smoldering.
Medical professionals assess the risk of MGUS progressing to multiple myeloma (MM) using factors like:
1. M protein (M spike) level: Higher levels increase risk
2. Immunoglobulin type: Non-IgG MGUS (e.g., IgA or IgM) has a higher risk.
3. Free light chain (FLC) ratio: An abnormal ratio suggests higher risk.

...my Spouse Has All The Symptoms Of MM. CA Is Not High, No Bone Lesions Yet. However The "numbers Are Stable" So Called MGUS. What # ?
Pre-diagnosis, How High Does The Kappa FLC And K/L Ratio Need To Be Before Getting Concerned Or Ordering A Bone Marrow Biopsy?
What Were Your Kappa Levels At The Highest Point Before Treatment? What Was Your Highest K/L Ratio? Thank You, Curt ( Newfoundland )
