Article Synopsis
- The kappa index (K-Index) measures intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis using a specific ratio of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum markers, but there's little data on how consistent these measurements are across different labs.
- In a study involving 15 paired CSF and serum samples analyzed by eight laboratories, there was excellent agreement in CSF KFLC measurements and good agreement in serum KFLC across different testing methods.
- The concordance for positive K-Index results was substantial overall and very good among certain laboratories, indicating that patients are unlikely to receive conflicting results regarding K-Index positivity despite variations in testing techniques.
