Hello,
Your test results are really high for a normal individual. Kindly repeat the test after a few weeks. If the results are still high, please consult the oncologist, who will guide you. Other than MM, amyloidosis, some renal or kidney related disorders can cause high K/L ratio.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
