Overview
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with intussusception. If intestinal gangrene develops as a complication of intussusception, then it may lead to leukocytosis. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances may develop due to persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration because of obstructed bowel.
Laboratory Findings
- Leukocytosis may be present if gangrene has formed due to intussusception
- Dehydration - persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration due to obstructed bowel may lead to dehydration
- Electrolyte imbalance - persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration due to obstructed bowel may lead to dehydration
