A member asked:

What does having a high lambda/kappa ratio, and a high alkaline phoshatase (bone) indicate? and what type of doctor would need to be seen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematologist: You should consult a hematologist. There are many possible explanations and it would require more history, physical examination and likely additional tests for a proper evaluation. Wish you good health!
