Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include the following:
* [[Complete blood count]] (CBC) is done to:
 
:* Rule out infection
===Complete Blood Count===
:* 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
* In early stage of the disease the complete blood count (CBC) may be normal.
:* Provide a baseline for future blood counts taken during and after treatment
*Anemia may be seen secondary to involvement of bone marrow, autoimmune hemolysis and bleeding.
* Blood chemistry studies include:
*Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, or pancytopenia may be seen after bone marrow infiltration or autoimmune cytopenias.

Overview

Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, and hepatitis B blood test.

Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include the following:

Complete Blood Count

  • In early stage of the disease the complete blood count (CBC) may be normal.
  • Anemia may be seen secondary to involvement of bone marrow, autoimmune hemolysis and bleeding.
  • Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, or pancytopenia may be seen after bone marrow infiltration or autoimmune cytopenias.
  • Lymphocytosis with circulating malignant cells seen in low grade lymphomas.
  • Thrombocytosis may be seen as a paraneoplastic syndrome.

Blood Chemistry Studies

  • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)correlates with poor prognosis.
  • Liver function test (LFT) results may be abnormal secondary to hepatic involvement.
  • Hypercalcemia may be seen in patients with acute form of adult T-cell lymphoma-leukemia (ATLL).
