Kappa free light chain index as a diagnostic biomarker in multiple sclerosis: A real-world investigation

Igal Rosenstein et al.

Summary: The Kappa free light chain (KFLC) index shows high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), with similar accuracy to OCB and KFLCIF. Furthermore, the KFLC index is not influenced by disease-modifying therapy, demographic factors, or other inflammatory or degenerative processes in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Effects of Natalizumab Therapy on Intrathecal Immunoglobulin G Production Indicate Targeting of Plasmablasts

Miriam Schlueter et al.

Summary: Natalizumab (NTZ) treatment in MS patients reduces intrathecally produced IgG and IgA levels, with minimal effect on IgM indices. Reductions in IgG index, serum IgM, and IgA are correlated with NTZ treatment duration. MRZ reaction remains unchanged and OCB persists.

The Influence of Renal Function Impairment on Kappa Free Light Chains in Cerebrospinal Fluid

Franz F. Konen et al.

Summary: The study found that decreased renal function leads to a decline in KFLC indices and KFLC IF values, affecting the interpretation of KFLC results in patients with neuroinflammatory diseases. In samples with inflammatory CSF profiles, false negative KFLC results may occur.
