FREE LIGHT CHAIN ASSAY

The free light chain assay, a pivotal diagnostic tool, is employed to quantify the levels of unbound light chains circulating in the blood. These light chains, comprising kappa and lambda varieties, are essential components of antibodies. When their production goes unchecked, it indicates potential medical conditions like multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders. By examining a blood sample, Hypro Diagnostics utilizes the results of the free light chain assay to diagnose and track these conditions. This approach offers valuable insights into the health of the patient’s immune system, allowing for the identification of any abnormalities in antibody production.
