Your oncologist might request a 24-hour urine sample to check for abnormal proteins, such as monoclonal proteins (M proteins), which are often associated with multiple myeloma. This test helps in identifying and quantifying these proteins, which can be crucial for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of the disease. It provides a more comprehensive view of protein levels over a full day, which can be more accurate than a single, momentary sample.

To check for kidney function. That is very important for MM. If your numbers (from lab results) stay strong, you might never need another one. But I think everyone gets one at least once.
