Overview
There are no laboratory findings associated with the diagnosis of bone and cartilage masses. However, in some bone tumors (particularly, those of malignant origin) laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors, may include elevated LDH, alkaline phosphatase (related with prognosis), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).[1]
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors, may include:[1]
- Elevated LDH
- Elevated alkaline phosphatase (related with prognosis)
- Elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
- Measurement of serum LDH and alkaline phosphatase may be considered for prognosis among patients with osteosarcoma.
