A member asked:

Should i be tested yearly for my kappa level of 2.19. my lamda level is within range. i have severe joint pain on in my shoulders, knees, feet, and?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kappa chains tested: MinervaR ~your doc is a smart doc. He must have measured your urine before for these immunoglobulins in the urine and you must a have shown a few in the urine and he is making sure it does not get worse. The joint pain +kappa chains could be due to a paraproteinemia and the commonest one is multiple myeloma. Please continue this very important surveillance thanks
