Laurie,

The "most" common cause in patients with aberrant light chain deposition
(i.e. Amyloid L) is multiple myeloma.

=0AStaining with kappa and lambda should reveal the Amyloid L.

Does anyone know of a reference lab that does an IHC stain for Amyloid L
(amyloid light chain)?  I can find labs that do Amyloid A and Amyloid P,
but not Amyloid L.
