Question
which of the following tests are used to diagnose patients with multiple myeloma? a) absortiometry b) ggtp c) alkaline phosphatase d) serum protein electrophoresis
Serum protein electrophoresis is a key test for diagnosing multiple myeloma as it can detect abnormal proteins (M - proteins) produced by cancerous plasma cells. Absortiometry is not a standard test for multiple myeloma. GGTP (gamma - glutamyl transferase) is mainly used to assess liver function. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme measured to evaluate bone, liver, and other organ health and is not specific for multiple myeloma diagnosis.
