When monitoring multiple myeloma, especially after treatment with Revlimid, here are some key test results to be aware of:

- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the overall health of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Abnormal results could indicate issues related to multiple myeloma.
- Urine Tests: These can detect abnormal proteins like M proteins. A 24-hour urine test may be required for further analysis.
- Blood Tests: These include tests for albumin, calcium, and creatinine levels. Low albumin and high calcium or creatinine can indicate disease progression or kidney function issues.
- Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test: High levels of LDH can be a sign of disease progression.
- Quantitative Immunoglobulin Tests: These measure antibody levels. Abnormal levels may indicate a problem.
- Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP): This test looks for abnormal proteins in the blood, which can be a sign of multiple myeloma.
