What does an elevated Kappa Lambda ratio mean?

In general, a low kappa-lambda ratio (< 0.26) indicates the overproduction of lambda light chains, and a high ratio (> 1.65) indicates the overproduction of kappa light chains.

What is a ICD-10 code D47 2?

ICD-10 code: D47. 2 Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)

What is kappa and lambda light chain?

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.

What is the ICd 10 code for abnormal plasma protein?

When will ICD-10-CM R77.9 be released?

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R77.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Clinical Significance

Kappa/Lambda Light Chains, Free with Ratio, Random Urine - Kappa/Lambda Light Chains, Free with Ratio, Urine by turbidimetry provides a sensitive detection and quantitation of free light chains (FLCs) in urine earlier than electrophoresis and immunofixation.

Clinical Significance

Kappa/Lambda Light Chains, Total, Random Urine - Polyclonal immunoglobulin light chains (kappa and lambda) normally occur in a ratio of 2:1, whereas monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains exhibit only one type of light chain, either kappa or lambda. A kappa/lambda ratio outside of 2:1 is an indication of a monoclonal gammopathy.

Why is FLC in urine low?

In a healthy kidney, the tubular cells selectively reabsorb all FLC so their presence in urine is probably due to secretion into the urinary tract.

Can you test for FLC in urine?

The laboratory will perform FLC analysis on urine, but a serum sample is preferred for many reasons. Analogous to glucose metabolism, FLC spill into the urine only after the tubular reabsorptive capacity is exceeded. Thus, the serum FLC ratio has been shown to be abnormal in patients with monoclonal gammopathy despite normal urine FLC ratios or normal urine immunofixation. Serum tests are also more sensitive for the detection of residual monoclonal FLC after treatment and for the early detection of monoclonal FLC after relapse in patients with monoclonal gammopathy.

Test Includes

κ free light chain quantitation in serum; λ free light chain quantitation in serum; calculated κ:λ light chains ratio in serum

Special Instructions

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.

Expected Turnaround Time

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.

Collection

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.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate; samples are stable for 21 days at 2°C to 8°C. For longer storage, freeze at -20°C.

Causes for Rejection

Microbially-contaminated specimen; specimen containing particulate matter; lipemic or hemolyzed specimen

Additional Information

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.
