What level of M spike is considered good?

There isn't a "good" M spike level because any amount of M protein is abnormal. The goal with myeloma treatment is to reduce M protein levels as much as possible, ideally to zero.

Here's what different M protein levels typically mean:

* MGUS (precursor condition): Usually less than 30 grams per liter
* Smoldering myeloma: Higher than MGUS levels
* Advanced myeloma: May be over 70 grams per liter

When treatment is successful, M protein levels decrease and can eventually disappear completely. This is one of the key ways doctors monitor how well your myeloma treatment is working.

Your doctor will interpret your specific M protein numbers based on your individual condition, treatment stage, and overall health picture.
