==Overview==
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome include presence of [[iron deficiency anemia]]. Patients suspected of Plummer-Vinson syndrome should be tested with [[complete blood count]] (CBC), [[iron]] studies, [[peripheral smear]], [[Stool test|stool test for occult blood]], [[Blood lead level|blood lead levels]] and [[bone marrow biopsy]] for stainable [[iron]].

==Laboratory Findings==
==Laboratory Findings==
[[Blood tests]] show a hypochromic [[microcytic anemia]] that is consistent with an iron-deficiency anemia. Biopsy of involved mucosa typically reveals epithelial atrophy (shrinking) and varying amounts of submucosal chronic inflammation. Epithelial atypia or [[dysplasia]] may be present.

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].

[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
 
OR
 
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
 
OR


There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
* [[Complete blood count]] (CBC) should be done in patients of Plummer-Vinson syndrome and will have the following findings:
**Low [[mean corpuscular volume]] (MCV <80 fl)
**Low [[Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration|mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)]]
**Elevated [[platelet count]] ([[platelets]] > 450,000/µL)
**Normal or elevated [[white blood cell count]]


==Laboratory Findings==
* [[Iron]] studies should  be done in patients with [[pallor]], [[dysphagia]] or [[esophageal webs]] to confirm the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome. The tests usually done for iron deficiency anemia are:  
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome include presence of iron deficiency anemia:
** [[Serum iron]]- Decreased in [[iron deficiency]]
* Iron studies should  be done in patients with pallor, dysphagia or esophageal webs to confirm the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome. The tests usually done for iron deficiency anemia are:  
** [[Transferrin]]- Elevated in [[iron deficiency]]
** [[Serum iron]]- Decreased in iron deficiency  
** [[Total iron binding capacity]] ([[TIBC]])- Elevated in [[iron deficiency]]
** [[Transferrin]]- Elevated in iron deficiency  
** [[Transferrin saturation]]- derived by dividing the serum [[iron]] by the [[TIBC]]. Decreased in [[iron deficiency]].  
** [[Total iron binding capacity]] ([[TIBC]])- Elevated in iron deficiency.
** [[Ferritin]]- Indicator of body [[iron]] stores and is low in [[iron deficiency]]. However, [[ferritin]] also acts as an [[acute phase reactant]] and can be unreliable in [[inflammatory]] illness.  
** [[Transferrin saturation]]- derived by dividing the serum iron by the TIBC. Decreased in iron deficiency.  
** [[Ferritin]]- Indicator of body iron stores and is low in iron deficiency. However, ferritin also acts as an [[acute phase reactant]] and can be unreliable in inflammatory illness.

**[[Bone marrow aspiration]] for stainable [[iron]]: This the most accurate test to determine [[iron deficiency]]. However, it is not routinely done, since other [[blood]] and [[iron]] studies are a reliable source to determine the presence of [[iron deficiency anemia]].

Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome include presence of iron deficiency anemia. Patients suspected of Plummer-Vinson syndrome should be tested with complete blood count (CBC), iron studies, peripheral smear, stool test for occult blood, blood lead levels and bone marrow biopsy for stainable iron.

Laboratory Findings
