Background plasma cell dyscrasias (pcd) comprise a wide spectrum of disorders, which may adversely affect the kidney. However, in some pcd cases associated with kidney disease, the routine laboratory.
Serum free light chain analysis is a valuable tool when monitoring response to chemotherapy in patients with light chain-secreting monoclonal gammopathies 1, 2, 18 and also when monitoring response to plasmapheresis in patients with light-chain mediated renal failure. 21 the involved free light chain concentration or the difference between clonal and nonclonal light chain is recommended for serial evaluation of treatment response rather than the ratio.
The screening panel includes quantitative immunoglobulins/serum protein electrophoresis (igs/spep) and immunofixation electrophoresis (ife) if necessary, along with quantitative serum free light chains (sflc) with kappa/lambda ratio (κ/λ).
Automatic assays for the measurement of serum free immunoglobulin chains have been available for a number of years and have proven useful in the screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up of monoclonal gammopathies.
The 6th international symposium on clinical applications of serum free light chain analysis (plus hevylite) was held in bath, uk on 23rd and 24th september 2010.
Jul 13, 2018 the decades-old urine test is still used by pathologists and requested by physicians, but its use declined when the serum free light chain assay.
Serum free light chain analysis accelerates the detection of treatment response because the free light chains have a much shorter half-life (3-5 hours) than intact immunoglobulins (about 21 days). Although it is traditionally used for light chain-only plasma cell disorders, the test is also used for assessing response and minimal residual.
There is great interest in using serum free light chain measurements alongside serum protein electrophoresis o screen symptomatic patients for monoclonal.

Nov 5, 2020 this case study features a turbidimetric assay used for the quantitation of kappa and lambda free light chains (flc) in serum.
Three strategies were tested: standard protocol (sp) that considers serum electrophoresis (spep) as screening test, and two comparators.
A free light chains test measures the amount of lambda and kappa free light chains in the blood. If the amount of free light chains is higher or lower than normal, it can mean you have a disorder of the plasma cells.
Objectives: serum free light chain assay is a recommended screening test for monoclonal gammopathies. Anecdotal observations indicated a high rate of false-positive abnormal κ/λ ratios. This study was undertaken to ascertain the magnitude of the false-positive rate and factors contributing to the error rate.

Serum free light chain assay is used in the diagnosis and monitoring of monoclonal gammopathic manifestations. For the kappa (κ)/lambda (λ) ratio, there is a 36% false-positive rate in patients without monoclonal gammopathic manifestations and a 30% false-negative rate in patients with monoclonal gammopathic manifestations.

Immunoglobulin light chains that are circulating in serum in a free (unbound) state are called free light chains (flcs).
This paraprotein can be an intact immunoglobulin or a light chain (lc).
