Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis include abnormal complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), basic metabolic panel, and immunohistochemistry.
Laboratory Findings
The following laboratory abnormalities may be found in patients suffering from Langerhans cells histiocytosis:[1][2][3][4][5]
Complete Blood Count
- Anemia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- Elevated CRP
Basic Metabolic Panel
The following lab abnormalities may be seen on basal metabolic panel:[6][7]
- Elevated bilirubin concentration
- Abnormal liver enzymes
- Elevated alkaline phosphatase
Urinalysis
- Low urine specific gravity (1.008)
- Low specific gravity persisted during a water deprivation test
- Urine osmolality and urine specific gravity normalize following desmopressin administration
Immunohistochemistry
- CD1a +ve
- S100 +ve
- CD207 (langerin) +ve
