What does this test Free Light Chain Assay (kappa & Lambda) Test - Serum identify?

Free Light Chain Assay (kappa & Lambda) Test - Serum

The Free Light Chain Assay test is a blood test that measures the levels of kappa and lambda free light chains in the blood. Free light chains are proteins produced by plasma cells in the bone marrow and are released into the bloodstream. The test helps to identify and monitor conditions such as multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and amyloidosis.

Why is this test Free Light Chain Assay (kappa & Lambda) Test - Serum taken?

Free Light Chain Assay (kappa & Lambda) Test - Serum

The Free Light Chain Assay test is taken to measure the levels of kappa and lambda light chains in the blood. These light chains are proteins produced by plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. Abnormal levels of free light chains can indicate various conditions, including multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and other plasma cell disorders.

By measuring the ratio of kappa to lambda light chains, healthcare providers can assess the functioning of the immune system and monitor the progression of certain diseases. This test is often used in conjunction with other blood tests, imaging studies, and bone marrow biopsies to diagnose and manage hematologic disorders.
