What does this test Multiple Myeloma Panel identify?

  • Multiple Myeloma Panel identifies abnormal levels of certain proteins in the blood that may indicate the presence of multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow.
  • The panel typically includes tests for proteins such as beta-2 microglobulin, albumin, and immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM).
  • Elevated levels of beta-2 microglobulin and decreased levels of albumin are often seen in patients with multiple myeloma.
  • Abnormal levels of immunoglobulins may also indicate the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy, which is a precursor to multiple myeloma.

Why is this test Multiple Myeloma Panel taken?

  • The Multiple Myeloma Panel is taken to help diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow.
  • This panel includes various tests such as protein electrophoresis, immunofixation, and serum free light chains, which can help determine the presence and extent of abnormal plasma cells in the body.
  • The results of the Multiple Myeloma Panel can also provide information on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as help guide treatment decisions.
  • Monitoring the levels of specific proteins and antibodies in the blood can help track the progression of the disease and assess response to treatment.
