My cousin’s father was growing weak and we were concerned about his health. he has his liver damaged due to alcoholism, but is in strict restrain for last 2 months. One of my friend advised Serum Protein Electrophoresis and the report read “Partial M Spike seen”. Upon repeating the same test at another hospital, the report read " M band not seen, report suggestive of polyclonal gammopathy".
Can anyone help me out to conclude if the M spike is present or not looking into the Protein Electrophoresis report? Image of the graph is attached herewith.
We are all worried about the condition. please help us out.
