Brief Answer:
Normal result

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Your UPEP and SPEP results are within normal limits.

However your 24 hour protein is on the higher side which could be because of the tooth infection. Which means that your body is increasing the immunoglobulins to fight the tooth infection.

Please get the infection treated and ask for a repeat spep after 3 months.


I hope this helped, please get back to me for any further queries
