Minimum:
TWO 4.5 mL aliquots from a well-mixed random collection.
Analytic Time:
5 days upon receipt at reference laboratory
Reference Range:
Free Urinary Kappa Light Chains 0.14 - 2.42 mg/dL
Free Urinary Kappa Excretion/Day By report
Free Urinary Lambda Light Chain 0.02 - 0.67 mg/dL
Free Urinary Lambda Excretion/Day By report
Free Urinary Kappa/Lambda Ratio 2.04 - 10.37 (ratio)
Interpretive Data:
Total urinary protein is determined nephelometrically by adding the
albumin and kappa and/or lambda light chains. This value may not agree
with the total protein as determined by chemical methods, which
characteristically underestimate urinary light chains.
Methodology:
Immunofixation Electrophoresis/Nephelometry
CPT Code:
83883(x2), 84156
