Protein In Bone Marrow

[smurfchops]

Not high, but it's there. Is this common, what to expect in future?

Sorry, what I mean by. It's there... I mean it's in the blood .... and bone marrow was mentioned.

I am not at all sure what you are getting at........so I will make a guess.....which may well be way off.
You have been to your GP and a blood test has found an abnormality in your plasma proteins.
There may be many causes for this but a recent infection may well be a reason.
If there are gross abnormalities in any of the plasma proteins, then you will be referred to a Haematologist who will take a sample of your bone marrow.

That is just my guess with the information that you have provided.

[ummmm]

I like bone marrow.

smurfchops.......I seem to have guessed correctly and my post remains unamended.

Thanks Sqad... Yes I am waiting for an appointment with a haematologist. Sounds painful ... Is this condition usually something to worry about?

By the way I had a lung infection a few months ago, around July

smurfy....bone marrow biopsy is done under local anaesthetic(freezing), not painful but uncomfortable ;-)

This condition ? we don't know what condition we are dealing with at the moment and that is the reason for the marrow biopsy.

Be patient and wait for the biopsy results.
