Test by hemotologist s t/oncologist, kappa//lambda light chain, 24he urine ratio 3.51; kappa/lambda serum ratio 1.86; erythropoietin = 41.1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, kappa/lambda ratio is a generally useless test. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question about lab results from hematologist. Free kappa light chains serum 19.97 (range is 3.30-19.40mg/l) Normal lambda and ratio.
Serum free light chain test shows normal kappa (8.7mg/dl), low lambda (3.80), high kap/lam ratio (2.31). Serum $ urine electrophoresis show no monoclonal protein, nor does serum immunofixation. Likely MGUS, myeloma, or admyloidosis? CBC/met panel ok.
Will drinking a lot of water each day (96+oz) decrease kappa light chain levels? Electrophoresis normal with the exception of slightly elevated kappa in serum of 21.8 (normal in urine). Normal kappa lambda ratio?
Can stress cause higher serum light chain numbers? Kappa slightly elevated (21.5), lambda normal, k/l ratio normal. Kappa, lambda, k/l ratio in urine all normal. No M protein observed. I have stress and anxiety..just wondering if this could affect.
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
