Interpretive Data

Undetected antigen excess is a rare event but cannot be excluded. Free light chain results should always be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Compliance Category

FDA

Note

A copy of the graph will follow the final report.  This assay is highly sensitive to increasing concentrations of monoclonal free kappa or free lambda light chains in the serum of patients with evolving or relapsing myelomas.
