Kappa Light Chain Test

The Kappa Light Chain Test, also called Kappa Free Light Chain Test, is a blood test that measures the levels of Kappa free light chains (KFLCs) in the blood. These chains are produced by plasma cells and are a type of immunoglobulin. In healthy individuals, the levels of KFLCs are consistently maintained; however, in certain medical conditions like multiple myeloma, the levels can become elevated. This test is primarily used to help diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is also utilized to track the progression of the disease and response to treatment.

Additionally, the Kappa Light Chain Test can diagnose other conditions that impact KFLC levels, such as Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and amyloidosis.
