Hi, Info On A Free Light Chain Test
Had a Free light chain test and the results were Kappa 22.83 normal range is 3.3 to 19.4........Lambda was 11.07 normal is 5.71 to26.3......Kappa/Lambda ratio is 2.06 normal is 0.26 to 1.65 Dr says it's slightly elevated and not to worry any Dr post here that can give any advise or anyone else for that matter I thought anything out of range was a sign for concern TIA
My bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for August 19th. I won't be able to see the oncologist with results until September 14th. I hope you find some answers soon. Prayers are coming your way too.
Fast diagnosis and treatment is key. If they’re not working fast enough for you get a second opinion!
My husband has testing done on light chains monthly for the last 10 years. Most important is going to go up. God bless.
The serum free light chain (SFLC) assay tests for the presence of immunoglobulins in the blood. Immunoglobulin light chains are parts of these proteins that usually bind to another part, called heavy chains, to produce effective protein strands. When the light chains do not bind, it indicates a problem with your plasma Show Full Answer
Wow Steve I thought my kappa level was high I haven't found any references online of how high levels can go the Onco/Hematologist I saw didn't even bother to call with the results and My PCP just wants to do the FLC test again 3 weeks from now and if they are still elevated refer me to another Dr Im in the Atrium Network in NC and most Dr appointments are 3 months out as are MRI scans etc.Our healthcare system has gotten awful since covid.I went to the ER for chest pain a few weeks ago and people were waiting over 10 hrs to be seen 30 to 40 people just walked out it's horrible here.Anyway I hope you find out what is going on with you.Prayers your way.
