Kappa Lambda Light Chains Free Urine Test
Introduction
The Kappa Lambda Light Chains Free Urine Test is a vital diagnostic tool used primarily in oncology to detect abnormal levels of light chains in the urine. These light chains are proteins produced by plasma cells, and their abnormal presence can indicate various types of cancers, including multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders. Early detection through this test can significantly impact patient management and treatment outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the levels of Kappa and Lambda light chains in a urine sample. An imbalance in these light chains can signal underlying health issues related to malignancies. The test is conducted using a method called Nephelometry, which provides accurate and reliable results.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Patients exhibiting symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, bone pain, or recurrent infections should consider this test. Additionally, individuals with risk factors such as a family history of cancer or previous diagnoses of plasma cell disorders may benefit from regular monitoring through this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
