We are in the second week of the New Year! What has kept you motivated through your myeloma journey, and more? For me, it is the little things like snuggly hugs from my grandson.

Elevated Kappa: Any Benign Reasons?
AI-generated title
Hello! I am wondering if anyone might have insight on this. My mom was diagnosed with non-secretory myeloma in June. At that time, I joined a clinical study for immediate family members. I received my results back, and my Kappa Light Chain was elevated at 22.36. All other results were normal (no m spike and normal immunoglobulins - which was the same for my mom, though she had significant disease by that time as shown on a PET scan). I am therefore not eligible to be referred for follow up as the those items were normal. Does anyone know if Kappa Light Chain can be elevated for a benign reason? Thank you so much!
