Trusted resources explaining common laboratory tests used in lymphoma and multiple myeloma care.
A result outside the reference range does not necessarily mean that your cancer is worsening or that something is wrong. Your oncology team interprets results in the context of your diagnosis, treatment, symptoms, previous results, and trends over time.
Patients with lymphoma commonly see tests such as CBC, blood chemistry studies, and sometimes LDH. These official resources explain how testing fits into lymphoma evaluation and care.
Multiple myeloma involves additional blood and urine tests that may include CBC, SPEP, M-protein/M-spike, immunofixation, serum free light chains, calcium, and kidney-function tests.
MedlinePlus provides patient-friendly explanations of many individual laboratory tests, including CBC, CMP, LDH, kidney tests, liver tests, and more.
MedlinePlus Medical TestsYour oncology team often cares about how results change over time, not only whether one value is slightly above or below a reference range. Ask your care team about results that concern you rather than making treatment decisions based on a single number.
