Kappa and Lambda Freelite Serum Test Overview
Kappa and Lambda-Free Light Chains (FLC) are proteins produced by immune cells called plasma cells. They are released into the bloodstream and can be measured using laboratory tests. When plasma cells become cancerous or abnormal, they can produce an excessive amount of either kappa or lambda FLCs, causing an imbalance in the ratio of kappa to lambda FLCs in the bloodstream. This imbalance can be detected using a test called the kappa/lambda FLC ratio.
The kappa/lambda FLC ratio is used in conjunction with other tests to help diagnose and monitor plasma cell disorders including multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and amyloidosis. It can also be used to assess the risk of progression from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma.
