Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Does anybody know what a lab test for monoclonal spike is and what it means if it shows a spike. I can't figure it out from what I am reading on the internet. I would be grateful for any help with this. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi Dawn; Without seeing the entire lab report, I can only speculate that the term " monoclonal spike " might be referring to the occurrence of an abnormal amount of a single immunoglobulin (monoclonal spike, or M component) found in MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance), a fairly common, benign condition: http://www.digitalnaturopath.com/cond/C688089.html Best regards, Dave (father of (23); PSC 07/03; UC 08/03) > > Does anybody know what a lab test for monoclonal spike is and what it > means if it shows a spike.
