Preferred Label : Immunoglobulin light chains.kappa.free:MCnc:Pt:Ser:Qn:Nephelometry;

LOINC status : ACTIVE;

LOINC display name : Immunoglobulin light chains.kappa.free Nephelometry (S) [Mass/Vol];

LOINC long common name : Kappa light chains.free [Mass/volume] in Serum by Nephelometry;

LOINC short name : Kappa LC Free Ser Neph-mCnc;

LOINC description : This nephelometric assay provides a sensitive test for monitoring patients with monoclonal light chain diseases but no M-spike on protein electrophoresis, and may be more sensitive than immunofixation for detection of monoclonal free light chains. In some patients with non-secretory myeloma, systemic amyloidosis, or light chain deposition disease, the nephelometric free light chain assay provides a positive identification of a monoclonal serum light chain when the serum immunofixation is negative.;
