Diagnostic value of kappa free light chain index in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis – a multicentre study

BackgroundKappa free light chains (κ-FLC) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are an emerging biomarker in multiple sclerosis (MS).ObjectiveTo investigate whether κ-FLC index has similar diagnostic value in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) compared to oligoclonal bands (OCB)....
