Mainly your CBC, m protein, Free light chains and ratio, serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation. Also your BMP. Kidney function, bun and creatinine, liver enzymes, and calcium levels . It's a lot. But figure out how to get on your patient portal and print them out. Look up what's out of range. I'm still learning. Healthtree University has videos on labs. They are very informative πŸ’•
