Overview

Complete blood cell count (CBC), if the white blood cell count is elevated, an infection should be considered. A disproportionately high hemoglobin (polycythemia) level may be indicative of poor pulmonary blood flow. Complete chemistry profile, the results of this test may help delineate metabolic abnormalities associated with certain inborn errors of metabolism. Liver biochemical test abnormalities, including mild elevation in the serum bilirubin (most of which is unconjugated), occur in patients with hepatic congestion. Other liver biochemical tests such as serum alkaline phosphatase and serum aminotransferase levels may be normal or mildly increased. Serum albumin levels may be normal or mildly depressed

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings that might help in the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis include:

  • Complete blood cell count: If the white blood cell count is elevated, infection should be considered. A disproportionately high hemoglobin (polycythemia) level may be indicative of poor pulmonary blood flow[1].
  • Complete chemistry profile: The results of this test may help delineate metabolic abnormalities associated with certain inborn errors of metabolism[2].
  • Liver biochemical test abnormalities, including mild elevation in the serum bilirubin (most of which is unconjugated), occur in patients with hepatic congestion.
  • Other liver biochemical tests such as serum alkaline phosphatase and serum aminotransferase levels may be normal or mildly increased.
  • Serum albumin levels may be normal or mildly depressed.
