I'm wondering if, as one free light chain goes up, is the other free light chain suppressed?
I know this can happen with immunoglobulins, so I wondered if it worked the same way with light chains?

Re: Does an elevated free light chain suppress the other?
Blair,
It can happen, although not sure of the significance. We just got my husband's latest set of light chains. His lambda light chains are 2589, down from 7700. His kappa chains – which always read within normal limits – are now reading 1.86, so not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
