Overview
Laboratory findings associated with lung mass varies with the underlying presentation. The findings may range from normal to severely elevated. In general, a thorough laboratory evaluation is necessary to accurately assess, diagnose and stage the severity of lung mass. Laboratory evaluations include complete blood count, electrolytes, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, serum creatinine, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase.
