What does a high kappa/lambra ratio mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple Myeloma: Kappa and lamda are classifications of light chains of immunoglobulins in humans. They are part of the "y" shaped arms of your antibodies. This ratio is used to distinguish MGUS or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance from multiple myeloma. High ratio favors Multiple Myeloma
