Although the ratio is only .01 above the upper limit of normal but serum kappa FLC is high so the result has to be interpreted cautiously. I wonder if you have 24 hour urine collection and or urine immunofixation. If kappa light chain is high in the urine, kappa light chain disease may be present. I assume your kidney function is still normal because those light chains are much higher in CKD.

No. A kappa/lambda ratio is of limited usefulness. A normal ratio does not exclude disease and an abnormal ratio is not diagnostic of anything. Your results are not a cause for any concern. Wish you good health!
