All of the above.
Briefly:
- Serum albumin and β2‑microglobulin are used in the ISS staging system.
- Quantitative urine protein (24‑hr protein, urine electrophoresis/immunofixation) detects Bence‑Jones/light‑chain excretion.
- Serum free light‑chain assays identify and quantify light‑chain disease and help monitor response.
- Bone marrow biopsy with cytogenetics/FISH provides diagnosis confirmation and prognostic risk stratification.
