Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry Lambda Light Chains Test identifies monoclonal lambda light chain restriction in formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue, aiding in the diagnosis and classification of plasma cell dyscrasias including multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis. The methodology uses high‑affinity anti‑lambda antibodies and chromogenic detection on whole‑slide sections, with interpretation by a DHA‑licensed specialist.

| Methodology | Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on FFPE block | IHC (kappa only) | Flow cytometry |
| Turnaround Time | 5–7 business days | 5–7 days | 2–3 days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed specialist in diagnostic radiology, I emphasise that IHC lambda light chain results must be correlated with histomorphology, serum protein electrophoresis, and imaging findings to avoid misdiagnosis. This test provides critical prognostic information, guiding targeted therapy in plasma cell neoplasms. Please ensure that the provided FFPE block is adequate and that a complete clinical history accompanies the request.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Advisory – General Safety & Clinical Guidance
Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without consulting your treating physician. This test is performed on archival tissue and does not require fresh phlebotomy. In accordance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability, your informed consent is obtained prior to processing. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms related to the sampled site, please contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Exclusion Criteria & Urgent Red Flags
- Inadequate or poorly preserved tissue specimen; biopsy contraindicated due to bleeding diathesis.
- Lack of accompanying histopathology report and biopsy site details.
- ER Red Flags: Sudden severe pain, active bleeding from biopsy site, or fever >38°C—seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive lambda light chain result indicate?
A positive lambda light chain IHC indicates monoclonal lambda‑restricted plasma cells, commonly associated with multiple myeloma or AL amyloidosis, requiring further clinical and laboratory correlation.
2. How is the immunohistochemistry lambda test performed?
The test uses a paraffin‑embedded tissue section stained with anti‑lambda antibodies, visualized under microscopy to assess light chain restriction. Only a standard biopsy material (FFPE block) is required.
3. Is insurance accepted and how do I verify coverage?
We directly verify insurance coverage via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731. The test price is 450 AED, including DHA‑compliant reporting and telephonic guidance from a licensed specialist.
