===Liver function tests===
 
[[Liver function]] tests include checking for serum levels of [[lactate dehydrogenase]], [[gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase]], [[alkaline phosphatase]], and glutamic-oxaloacetic [[transaminase]].
These tests can be elevated in uveal melanoma that has metastasized to the [[liver]].
The following tests may be done on the sample of tissue to get more information about prognosis of uveal melanoma:<ref name="NCI">Uveal melanoma. National Cancer Institute(2015) http://www.cancer.gov/types/eye/hp/intraocular-melanoma-treatment-pdq Accessed on October 24 2015</ref>  
===Cytogenetic analysis===
A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of tissue are viewed under a microscope to look for certain changes in the [[chromosomes]].
===Gene expression profiling===
A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of [[tissue]] are checked for certain types of [[RNA]].
A [[biopsy]] may result in [[retinal detachment]] which can can be repaired by [[surgery]].
