Performed by: Quest Diagnostics

Biomarkers included in this panel:

Free Lambda Lt Chains, Serum

Light chains are proteins produced by immune cells called plasma cells. Also called “Free Lambda Light Chains” they link together with other proteins (heavy chains) to form immunoglobulins (= antibodies) that

Kappa

Kappa is a type of immunoglobulin light chain measured on the Immunofixation, Serum (NMH/LFH) panel to help identify abnormal monoclonal protein production, often associated with plasma cell or B-cell disorders. In healthy individuals, kappa and lamb

Kappa/Lambda Ratio

The Kappa/Lambda ratio measures the balance between free kappa and lambda light chains in the blood and helps detect abnormal plasma cell activity. A high ratio suggests excess kappa light chain production, while a low ratio indicates excess lambda&m
