LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN
What does LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN measure?
This test measures lambda light chains, proteins made by certain immune cells. It may be used to help evaluate abnormal production of antibody-related proteins, including when a healthcare professional is assessing possible plasma cell or other blood and immune system disorders. Results are often interpreted alongside other light chain, protein, and clinical findings to understand their significance.
