To monitor myeloma treatments, the following lab tests are commonly used:

- Blood Tests: These measure monoclonal protein (M-protein) levels to assess response to treatment. Additional blood tests check levels of albumin, calcium, creatinine, and other electrolytes

To monitor myeloma treatments, the following lab tests are commonly used:

- Blood Tests: These measure monoclonal protein (M-protein) levels to assess response to treatment. Additional blood tests check levels of albumin, calcium, creatinine, and other electrolytes.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the overall health of your blood, including kidney function and the presence of abnormal proteins.
- Urine Tests: These detect abnormal proteins, such as M proteins.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy: This test is used to monitor disease progression.
- Imaging Tests: These include X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and PET scans to monitor treatment outcomes and detect relapses.

These tests help in tracking the progression of myeloma and the effectiveness of treatments.
