Kappa Lambda Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Kappa Lambda Ratio (KLR) is:

\[ KLR = \frac{K}{L} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( KLR \) is the Kappa Lambda Ratio (%).
\( K \) is the kappa value.
\( L \) is the lambda value.

What is Kappa Lambda Ratio?

The Kappa Lambda Ratio is a measure used in medical diagnostics to assess the balance between kappa and lambda light chains in the blood. It is often used to diagnose and monitor certain conditions, such as multiple myeloma.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Kappa Value (K): 2.5
Lambda Value (L): 1.2

Using the formula to calculate the Kappa Lambda Ratio:

\[ KLR = \frac{2.5}{1.2} \times 100 \approx 208.33 \% \]

This means that the Kappa Lambda Ratio for this example is approximately 208.33%.
