A member asked:
Hi doctor, i did a blood test of free light chains. free kappa is 20.9, lambda is 9.4 and kappa/lambda ratio is 2.22, is this something to worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lessons of Labs: Serological analysis of the blood for light chains is typically done to screen for certain types of neoplastic conditions. The results should be discussed with the physician ordering the test so that it can be determined why the test was done in the first place and what suspicions the physician had that prompted the order. If you still don't understand, ask to see a specialist.
