What should M Protein reference values be?

There is no "normal" range for M protein - any amount detected is considered abnormal since M protein is not naturally produced by the body. It's an abnormal antibody made by cancerous plasma cells.

Here are typical M protein levels for different stages:
• MGUS: Less than 30 grams per liter of blood
• Smoldering myeloma: Higher than MGUS
• Advanced myeloma: May exceed 70 grams per liter Your healthcare provider will interpret these numbers based on your specific condition. M protein levels are used to:
• Help diagnose your condition
• Determine disease stage
• Monitor if the disease is progressing
• Check if treatments are working effectively

With successful treatment, M protein levels can decrease and potentially reach zero.
