Free Kappa & Lambda Light Chains, Quantitative,
Serum
Elevated serum levels of monoclonal
free light chains (FLC) are associated with malignant plasma cell proliferation
(eg, multiple myeloma), primary amyloidosis, and light chain deposition disease.
Raised serum levels of polyclonal FLC may be associated with autoimmune diseases
such as systemic lupus erythematosus. The appearance of higher levels of FLC
in urine may be indicative of kidney disease or malignant lymphoproliferative
disease such as multiple myeloma. The monoclonal urinary FLC associated with
lymphoid malignancy is called a Bence Jones protein.
