What tests diagnose myeloma?

Electrophoresis and: Free serum light chain tests. Multiple myeloma is generally diagnosed by electrophoresis of serum, urine and free serum light chain test. X-rays of the bone may reveal lytic lesions that are a strong indicator of the disease. Confirmation of the diagnosis requires examination of bone marrow by a pathologist.

Tests: You would need to have blood works, a skeletal bone survey/ or MRI of the spine as indicated , and definitely a bone marrow biopsy to diagnose a multiple myeloma. Please discuss further with your hematologist/oncologist.
