Overview
Laboratory Findings
- There are no specific laboratory findings associated with spina bifida.
- An elevated concentration of Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein may be predictive for contemporary detection of spina bifida.[1]
[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include:
- [Abnormal test 1]
- [Abnormal test 2]
- [Abnormal test 3]
OR
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
