Your entry was most interesting to me.
I have IgG lambda MGUS.
My free light chains (both kappa and lambda) escalated to very high levels when I was exposed to COVID by our cleaning people. I was asymptomatic but clearly had a case of Covid.
My kappa went to normal within a couple of months but the lambda stayed high.

I have read that FLCs rise due to infection which makes sense since you had covid. Don’t understand about why lambda would stay elevated but not kappa.
Both kappa and lambda were elevated at my MGUS diagnosis over 3 years ago but now just the lambda remains high. Just within normal range ratio.
I see a MM doc who is monitoring me and thinks it’s nothing to worry about. The M spike isn’t detectable since initial level of 0.2 g/dl in 2021.
FLCs can be high if you have kidney disease but that’s normal for me. And connected to autoimmune diseases.
I think there’s a lot of research currently about FLCs and why they are elevated etc.
