New MGUS: Confusing Light Chains & Dizziness?
AI-generated title
New patient to the group. For 1.5 years, primary care was perplexed by m-spike on routine bloodwork, .8. She sent me for consult with oncology, who ordered more bloodwork and scheduled a follow up in 6 months with MGUS diagnosis. Oncology bloodwork indicated kappa light chain 20.7mg/L and 114.8 lambda light chain (both marked as high) with K/L ratio .18. After reading these results, Dr moved my next appt to 3 months out. These numbers seem low compared to active MM patients, but confusing nevertheless. I'm 49 with overall good health. For past few months struggling with significant dizziness. Can't help but wonder if it's all connected. My mother's sister is currently battling MM, so I know all too well how difficult the diagnosis is.
