Thanks for checking in…!!!

We just received word from UCSF that Irene’s amyloid values are the following:

*  KAPPA LT CHAIN, FREE 51.9
*  LAMBDA LT CHAIN, FREE 42.3
Ratio: 1.23

Three months ago the values were the following:

*  KAPPA LT CHAIN 44.1
*  LAMBDA LT CHAIN 34.9
Ratio: 1.26

While the “raw” values are slightly elevated, the value ratios are within what is being interpreted as remission status.

From a historical perspective, following are the RAW historical values without the ratio:

June 2007, 652 (stem cell transplant date)

July 2007, 78.5

October 2007, 33.1

February 2008, 56.7

March 2008, 39.4

May 2008, 39.4

December 2008, 37.2

March 2009, 44.1

June 2009, 51.9

Thanks for caring,
Dave
