I have free light chain tests every 3 months. this test my free kappa light chain level increased significantly . prior to test i had upper respiratory infection for 2-3 weeks. could this cause the kappa level to increase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A viral upper respiratory infection less likely raises kappa light chain. Good luck to you with the next test!
