Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory tests will show signs of hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure. Laboratory tests may include:
- Blood clotting tests (PT and PTT)
- Comprehensive metabolic panel may show increased levels of BUN and creatinine
- Complete blood count (CBC) may show increased white blood cell count and decreased red blood cell count
- Platelet count is usually reduced
- Urinalysis may reveal blood and protein in the urine
- Urine protein test can be used to show the amount of protein in the urine
