Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (mgus) - what does this mean
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (mgus) is a condition in which an abnormal protein called a monoclonal protein or m-protein is produced by the bone marrow. this protein is produced in excess and can be detected in the blood. the cause of mgus is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an abnormality in the immune system. it is usually a benign condition that does not require treatment, but it can progress to more serious diseases such as multiple myeloma or lymphoma.
What happens during the disease - monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (mgus)
Mgus is a pre-malignant condition characterized by the presence of an abnormal protein in the blood called monoclonal immunoglobulin or m-protein. it is believed to be caused by an overproduction of a single clone of plasma cells, which produce the abnormal protein. this overproduction of plasma cells is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including exposure to certain toxins, chronic inflammation, and viral infections.
