Avatar f tn Could someone could help me with the results of my blood tests. Kappa light serum free serum 29.3 high kappa lamda light chain free with ratio serum 1.73 high b type natriuretic peptide 121 high normal lambda light chain free serum 16.
Avatar f tn I have the result of my blood test and here could please someone explain it to me I am. 71 woman. Kappa light serum free serum 29.3 high kappa lamda light chain free with ratio serum 1.73 b type natriuretic peptide 121 high . Normal lambda light chain free serum 16.9 normal opinion high sensitivity 4 Thank you for your valuable time.
Avatar f tn The kappa free light chain result should be repeated to establish a trend and I think also the kappa/lambda ratio would be useful as it indicates activity, however, more diagnostic tests may be needed. The 1:40 ANA is normal, considered negative up to 1:160, not useful for diagnostic purposes. Her doctor is likely right. Can you tell us more about her symptoms, dietary habits, fitness level,age, weight,etc, including brief med. history?
904511 tn?1251219733 7Has anyone had a Kappa or Lambda light chain test? My Kappa was 432 and range is 74-295. Also my Kappa/Lambda ratio is 2.8 and range is 1.3-2.8. A tad elevated. Along with these I got a Rheumatoid Factor IgA is 9 range is >6 positive. my sed rate is elevated at 39, my CRP is elevated and same with my Globulin. All inflammation markers.
Avatar n tn metoprolol may not correct SOB! The pacemaker has corrected bradycardia!? The pacemaker will override any disruptions of the normal electrical impulses controlling the rate of your heart's pumping action. SOB is almost always a serious symptom...it was the only symptom for the admitting personal to put me in an emergency status, but I had other symptoms, dry cough, hyperventilating when laying down, etc . She said that is all that is needed is SOB.
Avatar m tn One course of Rituxan and in remission now. My oncologist recently ordered a blood test for SERUM FREE LIGHT KAPPA/LAMBDA CHAINS AND RATIO. Is this being done routinely for monitoring NHL? I had only read about it before with Myeloma. What does it add to my other lab test monitoring? Thank you.
Avatar f tn I went through chemotherapy and have since been in remission. This summer I started feeling sick again. My oncologist found high levels of igg kappa AND lambda in my blood but not urine. I had a bone x-ray which came back normal. I just had my first bone marrow test and am waiting results. I have been having episodes where I feel really tired and my legs feel really heavy. My hair is extremely brittle and has been falling out since this summer. I have lost about half so far.
Avatar f tn Here are blood markers off ldh high 289. Kappa serum high 28. Free kappa light chains high 182. Bnp strangely low 102. Igm high 337. Anti dna ds abqn very high 209 (range is 0-9!). Cpk high 233. Myoglobins high present in blood iron high 197 transferrin iron high 58 creatinine random urine very high 462 No one gave me an explanation on low semen.i do use testosterone gel for low T. But a 90% decrease in semen without a lower T score does not add up.
Avatar f tn ve done more reading and came across something called the angle kappa of the eye. Apparently, even myopes (although rare) may have a larger than normal angle kappa value. This natural anatomical misalignment of the visual axis from the pupillary axis can lead to IOL decentration, causing CA. Does this apply to ICLs as well? Should I bring this up to my doctor or is it not relevant? Or do standard procedures already rule this out? Thank you for reading. Links: https://eandv.biomedcentral.
Avatar f tn since her body does not produce IGA and the gamma globulin levels are a combination of IGG/IGA/IGM/IGE/IGD wouldnt that give a inconclusive result as to the absence of the MSpike? Her gamma globulins levels are high. Her Kappa light chain level is high as well.

Avatar n tn He started me on Pamidronate infusions to prevent bone loss. My IgG is in the 3300 mg range and the bone marrow was at 13% Myeloma cells and the Kappa/Lambda freelight chains were high (can't remember at this time how high). The total proteins were at 9.4 when treatment began. Now My bone marrow has only 5% Myeloma cells, the IgG protein is still about 3100 mg range....but, the kappa/lamda freelight chain are NORMAL for the 1st time in almost 2 years.
Avatar f tn Increased level of IgG Kappa Protein in blood. No LP done at this point. Is there any relation to this and MS? Neuro had dismissed MS, but I think she may be back on it now. MRI 2 lesions. Repeat MRI in Mar or April. Any info or thoughts would be helpful.
Avatar f tn Both times I have had abnormal increased levels of an IGG Kappa protein in my blood. Now they want a bone density test and want to sent me to a hematologist. My Neuro said prob nothing but could be MGUS a pre-cancerous condition that may or may not lead to Leukemia, Lynphona, or Bone Cancer. I am just wondeing could something else cause this protein to be high in my blood? Any input would be GREAT!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn I had a spinal tap that showed Positive for ogloical bands. Dr also mentioned another test that was elevated. Free kappa chains value in CSF fluid. I don't hear about this test much. Is this new? Is this a good indicator of MS? My last MRI done in February showed no lesions. Since oct. I've had muscle stiffening, twitches,left side weakness, and difficulty walking. My dr thinks this is positive evidence of MS. What do you guys think? Concerned I have MS.
664366 tn?1276298653 Immuofixation serum interpretation- A faint IGG Kappa monoclonal immunoglobulin is detected. I was called into the office right away and set up to go see a hemotologist that I will see on the 17th. I hurt and the pain is getting worse .. Though Biofreeze does take some away. I have looked up IGG Kappa Monoclonal Immunoglobulin and its some scary reading. Cancers, blood disorders, or can it be the MS coming on? I am making myself mentally a wreck looking up stuff.
Avatar n tn “Vaseline vision” after cataract surgery with a multifocal IOL often results from a large angle kappa, even when the lens is well centered within the capsular bag. Intraoperative centration is critical, although postoperative intervention is a possibility. Laser iridoplasty to re-center the pupil has been shown to improve visual acuity, but this is only an option in mild cases of decentration." When it mentions "angle kapp", it is referring to: http://eyeworld.
675084 tn?1233087505 good you ask me.. my pacemaker is set to 80beats and I'm 100% depend on my pacemaker.. i have a Medtronic this my 2nd. pacemaker... my first Medtronic pacemaker i had it for 18 yrs. until the doctor turn it down than it didn't work good.. had to get a new one.. in Dec. it will be 2yrs. i had my pacemaker check last week and i find out the doctor that put my pacemaker in didn't set my pacemaker for life depend.. Good news is now my pacemaker is set for it not to be ever turn off..
Avatar f tn The pacemaker itself should not be a deterent from having an ablation. I've had a pacemaker for 6 years (because of an ablation actually), and then had another ablation about a year ago. Unfortunately, the ablations don't work for me, but I have IST, not SVT so hopefully they're more effective for that.
Avatar f tn My pacemaker battery had been dead for over a year and a half, and I just now was told that the pacemaker will have to be removed because it can damage the heart if it doesn't have a battery. Is this true? Incidentally, my pacemaker had not been activated for several years, as it was set for the minimum and didn't ever have to kick in.
Avatar f tn I have had numerous surgeries including the Fontan in 1987 with a revision of the Fontan in 2006, where at that time I also had a Medtronic Enrhythym Pacemaker install. 3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker replacement due to the fact my battery on my Pacemaker was running low. The new Pacemaker installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.
