Overview
Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, and hepatitis B blood test.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include the following:[1]
- Complete blood count (CBC) is done to:
- Rule out infection
- Assess how well the blood-forming organs (such as the bone marrow and spleen) are working and to see if Hodgkin's lymphoma cells have spread to the bone marrow
- Provide a baseline for future blood counts taken during and after treatment
- Blood chemistry studies include:
- Protein levels
- Liver function tests
- Kidney function tests
- Uric acid level
- HIV blood test
- Hepatitis B blood test
