Immunoglobulin light chains.free panel - Serum by Nephelometry
Active
80515-0 Kappa light chains.free [Mass/volume] in Serum by Nephelometry
Term Description
This nephelometric assay provides a sensitive test for monitoring patients with monoclonal light chain diseases but no M-spike on protein electrophoresis, and may be more sensitive than immunofixation for detection of monoclonal free light chains. In some patients with non-secretory myeloma, systemic amyloidosis, or light chain deposition disease, the nephelometric free light chain assay provides a positive identification of a monoclonal serum light chain when the serum immunofixation is negative.

Part Descriptions
LP29081-4 Immunoglobulin light chains.kappa.free
Healthy patients have the majority of light chains in serum bound to heavy chains. Low levels of free light chains (unbound) are normal due to the over-production and secretion of free light chains by plasma cells. In the kidneys, the free light chains are selectively reabsorbed by the tubular cells, so their presence in urine is likely due to secretion into the urinary tract. Elevation of monoclonal free light chains in serum or urine signal malignant plasma cell proliferation (multiple myeloma), primary amyloidosis, or light chain deposition disease. Elevation of polyclonal free light chains suggests autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. (Information from Freelite Beckman Coulter IMMAGE II package insert, Version 23, Feb 2009)

80517-6 Kappa light chains.free/Lambda light chains.free [Mass Ratio] in Serum by Nephelometry
Term Description
An elevated kappa/lambda ratio supports the diagnosis of a monoclonal gammopathy and requires further investigation. Borderline elevated kappa/lambda ratios occur with renal impairment, and may require appropriate renal function tests. Elevated levels of both kappa and lambda with normal kappa/lambda ratio - may be due to (1) renal impairment (common); (2) Over-production of polyclonal FLC from inflammatory conditions (common); (3) Bi-clonal gammopathies of different free light chain types (rare).
