A member asked:

Is it possible for someone to have stage 4 lymphoma but have completely normal cbc/cmp?

Dr. Michael Dugan answered

Specializes in Hematology

Yes: With advanced disease it is common to have some degree of anemia. The cmp routinely does not include an ldh, which is often elevated in nhl. So one could have all normal screening labs.
