Birth control, menstrual cycle & free light chain levels

by miki on Thu Aug 02, 2018 5:44 am

Hello,

Can birth control pills, such as Minesse (gestodene and ethinyl estradiol), or the normal menstrual cycle (monthly period) affect free light chain results, causing, for example, a raised lambda level, but normal free light chain ratio?

Thanks.
