About test
What does KAPPA LIGHT CHAIN measure?
This test measures kappa light chains, which are small protein components made by certain immune cells. It may be used to help evaluate abnormal antibody production and to support assessment of plasma cell or other blood-related disorders when considered with other laboratory findings. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and related tests, as kappa light chain levels can vary in different health conditions.
