A kappa free light chain test is a blood test that measures the levels of a certain type of protein in your blood. Your plasma cells (a type of white blood cell that fights infections and illnesses) make light chains. Light chains usually link up with other proteins called heavy chains.

The genes encoding the two light chain isotypes are located on separate chromosomes. Kappa gene segments are encoded on chromosome 2 (7) comprising 52 V genes and 5 J genes (8), whereas lambda gene segments are encoded on chromosome 22 (9) comprising 30 V genes and 7 J genes (10).
Light chains are proteins produced by immune cells called plasma cells. Also called kappa and lambda light chains, they link together with other proteins (heavy chains) to form immunoglobulins (also known as antibodies) that target and neutralize specific threats to the body such as bacteria and viruses.
Serum free light chain (FLC) assay is a test to detect abnormal levels of free light chains in the serum. The test is reported as individual kappa and lambda free light chain results with a ratio that can be used to support a diagnosis of a plasma cell disorder.
ICD-10 code R11. 0 for Nausea is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Early satiety occurs when you are unable to eat a full meal, or you feel very full after eating only a small amount of food. Early satiety is usually caused by gastroparesis, a condition in which your stomach is slow to empty. Other causes of early satiety include: An obstruction. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Values obtained with different assay methods should not be used interchangeably in serial testing. It is recommended that only one assay method be used consistently to monitor each patient's course of therapy. This procedure does not provide serial monitoring; it is intended for one-time use only.
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Sample should be allowed to clot and the serum separated as soon as possible to prevent hemolysis. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.
Refrigerate; samples are stable for 21 days at 2°C to 8°C. For longer storage, freeze at -20°C.
Microbially-contaminated specimen; specimen containing particulate matter; lipemic or hemolyzed specimen
Immunoglobulin molecules consist of two identical heavy chains (α, δ, ε, γ, or μ) that define the immunoglobulin class and two identical light chains (κ or λ). Each light chain is covalently linked to a heavy chain and the two heavy chains are linked covalently at the hinge region.
Kappa/Lambda Light Chains, Free with Ratio - The Kappa/Lambda Light Chains, Free with Ratio, Serum test measures the amount of kappa and lambda free light chains (FLCs) in the blood and calculates the kappa to lambda ratio.
Gross hemolysis • Grossly lipemic • Microbially contaminated • Heavy visible particulate
A kappa free light chain test is a blood test that measures the levels of a certain type of protein in your blood. Your plasma cells (a type of white blood cell that fights infections and illnesses) make light chains. Light chains usually link up with other proteins called heavy chains.
You shouldn’t need to do anything to prepare for a kappa free light chain test. Your healthcare provider will let you know if there are any instructions you should follow before the test. In some cases, you may need to fast (no food or drink for eight hours) or stop taking certain medications before your blood test.
Your healthcare provider will let you know when you can expect your results from a kappa free light chain test. It may take anywhere from a few days to a week to receive results.
