Overview

Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, immunohistochemistry, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and immunophenotyping.

Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include the following:[1][2]

  • 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:
