Free Kappa & Lambda Light Chains, Quantitative,
Urine
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.
The monoclonal urinary FLC associated with lymphoid malignancy is called a
Bence Jones protein.
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.
