Overview

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with ileus. However, laboratory evaluations must be done to identify the severity and presence of other complications of ileus such as electrolyte abnormalities and hypovolemia. Common laboratory test include complete blood count, liver function test, renal function test, serum electrolytes, serum lipase and amylase, arterial blood gas, [Lactic acid|lactate level]], serum albumin and measurement of inflammatory markers.

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings in patients of ileus includes[1][2]
