Overview

There are no specific diagnostic laboratory findings associated with Ogilvie's syndrome. The laboratory findings may include leukocytosis due to the underlying disease not due to the pseudo-obstruction itself. Many patients with Ogilvie syndrome may have metabolic imbalance which include hypokalemiaand hypocalcemia. Other laboratory tests that can be performed to exclude other causes include complete blood countlactate levels, and thyroid hormonelevels.
