Table 2.
sFLC ratio distribution according to eGFR in the group of patients without active MM. sFLC ratio range increases when there is a decrease in eGFR. The number of false positives according to the the current normal range (Katzmann) also increases specially in patients with eGFR ≤55 ml/min
| eGFR ≥ 90 (n = 76) | eGFR 56–89 (n = 70) | eGFR ≤ 55 (n = 30) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| sFLC ratio (IQR) | 1,04 (0,85-1,3) | 1,11 (0,89-1,39) | 1,31 (0,95-2,08) |
| False positives (%) | 6/76 (7,9) | 6/70 (8,5) | 11/30 (36,7) |
