Has anybody with neuropathy had this blood test performed? What were the results? What did the doc test next? What was the final outcome?

@bobweller, There is an older discussion that you may want to read through - Kappa Light Chains and PN: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/kappa-light-chains-and-pn/. @justandie, @oldkarl and @mariannelarsen may have some experience to share with you. There is also another discussion you might find helpful on the test here:

Have you had the blood labs done?

Yes my free light chain tests were abnormal. I have always had a very positive ANA and this time I also found out my anti-centromere antibodies were positive (scleroderma possible). I had an ANA with reflex panel. I also had some kidney testing, and the usual CBC and metabolic panel.

I have a lupus diagnosis and a neuropathy diagnosis (unspecified) and "paresthesias>"
