Overview
Routine blood tests are usually the next step in diagnosis after a thorough medical history and physical examination. They should include a full blood count, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and liver function tests such as albumin, international normalized ratio (INR), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), serum amylaseand total bilirubin (TBIL). If late-stage liver disease is suspected, then aserum glucose may be appropriate.
Laboratory Findings
Tests to obtain are:
- Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- LFTs (liver function tests)
- Urinalysis
- Beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin
- Electrolytes
- Tumor markers (if concern is malignancy)
- Toxicology screen
- Blood culture (if concern is infection)
