New here and kidney questions

[JennaShi]

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..

We are not medical experts here on this site. If I were you I would call the doctor's office that ordered the tests and ask the results to be explained to you. My doctor would have his nurse get back to me to explain them to me. Also, does your doctor have a "patient portal" where you can email his office? Maybe that would be a way to get the results explained.

Good luck.
