KAPPA LAMBDA LIGHT CHAINS FREE SERUM Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the KAPPA LAMBDA LIGHT CHAINS FREE SERUM test to evaluate and monitor certain types of blood disorders, particularly multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders.
Test Details
The Kappa/Lambda light chains free serum test is a diagnostic test used to evaluate and monitor certain types of blood disorders, particularly multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders. In normal individuals, the body produces a balanced amount of kappa and lambda light chains, which are components of immunoglobulins (antibodies). However, in some conditions, such as multiple myeloma, there is an abnormal overproduction of one type of light chain, leading to an imbalance.
The test measures the levels of kappa and lambda light chains in the serum (liquid portion of blood) to determine if there is an abnormal ratio or excess of one type. This information helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of plasma cell disorders. Elevated levels of free kappa or lambda light chains in the serum may indicate the presence of multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.
The test results are usually interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and additional tests, such as bone marrow biopsy and imaging studies. It is important to note that this test is just one piece of the puzzle and should not be used alone to diagnose or rule out a specific condition. A healthcare provider will consider the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and other test results to make an accurate diagnosis.
