change reasonThe PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016. Changed the LCN from 'Immunoglobulin light chains.kappa' to ' Kappa light chains' for readability
