What Is MGUS?
1. Overview
Proteins are very important compounds for us. They make up a large part of our bodies because they make up a lot of the building blocks that we are made from. They also perform some very important functions in our body and we would not be able to operate without them.
Some of the proteins we need are found in our food, whereas others are made by our own bodies. These proteins will not always form as they should do, however, and this can result in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. This means that your blood contains an abnormal protein known as M protein.
