A member asked:
Free kappa light chain is high, flc ratio is 2.205, no monoclonal gammopathy. iga 389.43, lgm 125.95 and lgg 1771.02 h. should we be worried? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Abnormal FLC ratio is not diagnostic of any disease. More than 50% of the people with increased levels of gamma globulins have abnormal FLC ratio without a disorder of the plasma cells.

Kappa/lambda FLC ratio high (2.75) w/ normal K(10.21mg/dl) & low L(3.68mg/dl). Hem-onc unsure if ratio implies K monoclonality since serum/urine IFE ok & neither chain is elevated. Could monoclonal K be suppressing L? IgA a bit high IgG &IgM a bitlow

A member asked:
Is elevated kappa/lambda ratio on serum FLC test inherently monoclonal, even if neither kappa or lambda is elevated? Ratio high b/c lambda is low, not because of high kappa. SPEP/UPEP & IFE normal. High IgA, low IgG. Clean marrow biopsy. Polyclonal?
