Can high light chain K be cured?

In general, "light chain K" refers to kappa light chain. Whether elevated kappa light chain levels can be cured usually depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The specific analysis is as follows:

Elevated kappa light chain levels caused by physiological factors or acute hepatitis are generally treatable. Increases due to physiological factors often resolve spontaneously. If caused by acute hepatitis, prompt medical evaluation is recommended. After identifying the cause, treatment should follow medical advice, including medications such as lamivudine tablets or entecavir capsules.

Elevated kappa light chain levels resulting from diseases such as multiple myeloma or macroglobulinemia are more severe and difficult to cure. However, symptoms may be improved under a doctor's guidance through treatments such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.

During treatment, it is recommended to get adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, maintain a light diet, and reduce intake of high-calorie foods.
