I Have Kappa Light Chain- No Treatment Yet-counts Going Up- What Would Be The First Signs Of Kidney Damage? I Get So Many Bladder Infections
I have to get up too many times at night to urinate- almost every hour
Thank you
Please don’t wait.♥️ Your Oncologist would actually be happy to work with a MM Specialist.
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
My first question to you - is your Oncologist/Hematologist a MM Specialist? If they are not go to theMMRF.org and find one.

You want to get treatment before you get any kidney damage. Your BUN and creatinine on your biochemical profile are a good way to monitor your kidney function. Glomerular Filtration rate is important as well. We all should be drinking lots of water, unless contraindicated by our doctors.
Do you know what your creatine and eGFR are? These are important numbers to watch. Some women’s probiotics may help with the bladder infection. Drink lots of water during the day. I feel for you when you have to get up at night. My worst nights are when I eat salty foods during the day. That’s when I am up every hour on the hour. Limit your salt intake. Of course, check with your doctor.

What Were Your Kappa Levels At The Highest Point Before Treatment? What Was Your Highest K/L Ratio? Thank You, Curt ( Newfoundland )
What Does It Mean When Your Labs Results Come Back Saying Your Kappa Lambda Light Chain Is High
