Understanding Your Lab Results
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood--and the results of blood and other lab tests are important for diagnosing and monitoring MM. This resource provides you with definitions of values that are commonly monitored in MM and provides the range of levels that are considered normal for each. Use this tool to better understand your results. Just remember to always discuss your results with your doctor; only your doctor can fully explain your individual results.
LAB TESTS USED TO DIAGNOSE AND MONITOR MULTIPLE MYELOMA As you review these charts, please remember that "normal" ranges are based on individual laboratories and may vary slightly from lab to lab. And always rely on your doctor for a full explanation of what your results may mean.
