Hi, I’m new to all of this and am unsure about some tests that were ordered recently for my by my neurologist.
Are these considered normal? I see they are in range, but I ask because the Kappa seems on high end and isnt there supposed to be no protein detected in Urine? Could anyone with experience with Bence Jones or Kappa Lambda Serum take a look?
I have been trying to figure it out for a few days now and don’t have an appointment until January. I know I don’t have cancer because I have a polyclonal gammopathy, I’m just trying to better understand what might be ahead. I have Autoimmune Gastritis and am post Graves (fully dependent of hypo thyroid meds and optimal for almost two years now) and don’t feel well.
Help is much appreciated, thanks!
Bence Jones Qualitative Random
Hours& volume: Random
Total protein: = 0.91 ref range: 10-140 mg/d
Albumin: detected ref range: detected
Alpha-1 urine: detected ref range: not detected
Alpha-2 urine: detected ref range: not detected
Urine beta globulin: detected ref range: not detected
Gamma urine: detected ref range: not detected
IFE interpretation: urine is negative for monoclonal free light chains
-Kappa Lambda Serum Quant Free light Chains-
Kappa Free Light Chain: 18.6 ref range: 3.3-19.4 mg/L
Lambda Free light chain: 15.3 ref range: 5.7- 26.3 mg/L
Kappa/Lambda Ratio (calc.) : 1.22 ratio: 0.26-1.65
* also am afraid the lab screwed up my tests? I went in to get these and more done and they only completed some (including Bence Jones) but had to go back and get the Kappa and Lambda completed on a different day as I wasnt notified that they didn’t do it..
