Description
| - Aims: The presented study is aimed at the evaluation of correlation of free light chains serum levels - kappa, lambda and their relation (K/L ratio) and serum levels of selected biological markers in a group of patients with multiple myeloma examined at the time of the diagnosis. Methods: 102 patients with multiple myeloma were included in this prospective study. Free light chains serum levels were determined by Freelite TM Binding Site system, for determination of serum levels of selected parameters the following methods were used: REA thymidinekinase (TK), RIA (beta2microglobulin), ICTP, PINP, enzymoimmunoassay (sIL-6R, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, sOPG) and quantitative enzymatic immunoassay (sHGF, sVEGF, sSyndecan-1 (sSyn-1) a sFas). Results: There was found a correlation in the kappa-group of the dominant kappa chain and serum readings of beta2m (r=0,344, p=0,005), TK (r=0,263, p=0,035), ICTP (r=0,402, p=0,001), PINP (r=0,264, p=0,039), sOPG (r=0,328, p=0,028), sSyn-1 (r=0,255, p=0,046) a sFas (r=0,418, p
