Had labs done and my kappa free levels are 2.49 mg/dl , lambda free levels are 1.50 mg/dl and my ratio is 1.66. labs showed no serum monoclonal protein and other proteins alpha1/2,a1,a2,beta,gamma came back normal. should i be concerned?

: Elevated levels of Kappa or Lamda proteins may indicate that you have a plasma cell disorder. See your doctor who ordered the test. Good Luck

A member asked:

Do (serum) kappa and lambda light chains fluctuate in a healthy person, sometimes going outside of the normal range very slightly? As long as the k/l ratio is normal and all other bloodwork including check for M proteins negative, should I not worry?

A member asked:

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.

A member asked:

Is a free light chain kappa/lambda ratio of 13 relatively high or just a touch high, with abnormal monoclonal protein anti IgG and anti lambda? Under medical care. Just curious before follow up. Not expecting diagnosis. Positive Ana 1:320 homogeneous?
