Overview

An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

OR

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].

OR

[Test] is usually normal for patients with [disease name].

OR

Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].

OR

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].

Laboratory Findings

  • Complete blood count (CBC):
    • Anaemia due to decreased erythropoietin production.
    • Abnormal platelets
  • Urinalysis:[1]
    • Urine sediment microscopy may show muddy brown granular casts or epithelial cell casts, and renal tubular epithelial cells.
    • Urine sodium concentration:[2] >40 mEq/L
    • Urine fractional excretion of sodium concentration:[3] > 2%
