Serum Free Light Chain Only Myeloma with Cytoplasmic IgM
In the past decade, the serum free light chain (FLC) immunoassays have become widely available enabling greater sensitivity in the diagnosis and management of monoclonal light chain diseases. Here, we describe a rare case of serum free light chain only myeloma with cytoplasmic IgM. A 75-year-old woman presented with a progressively worsening lumbosacral pain. FDG PET/CT images showed increased ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and monitoring for light chain only and oligosecretory myeloma using serum free light chain tests.
This study aims to guide the integration of serum free light chain (sFLC) tests into clinical practice, including a new rapid test (Seralite® ). Blood and urine analysis from 5573 newly diagnosed myeloma patients identified 576 light chain only (LCO) and 60 non-secretory (NS) cases. Serum was tested by Freelite® and Seralite® at diagnosis, maximum response and relapse. 20% of LCO patients had u...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
متن کاملSerum Free Light Chain Analysis
In healthy individuals, plasma cells originating from the bone marrow produce immunoglobulin molecules composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. There are two types of light chains in humans. The κ light chains are encoded by the immunoglobulin κ locus on chromosome 2 and λ light chains are encoded by the immunoglobulin λ locus on chromosome 22 [1]. During B lymphocyte development, the...
