Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include diminished oxygen saturation, hematocrit between 65% to 70%, and low platelet count and coagulation factors.

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include:

Lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of fibrinogen
Prolonged prothrombin time (PT)

 ==Overview==
-[[Polycythemia]] and oxygen desaturation may be present in the patient with tetralogy of Fallot. [[Thrombocytopenia]] and deficiencies in [[coagulation factors]] may also be present.
+[[Laboratory]] findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include diminished oxygen saturation, [[hematocrit]] between 65% to 70%, and  [[low platelet count]] and [[coagulation factors]].
 ==Laboratory Findings==
-===Oxygen Saturation===
+Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include:
-The oxygen saturation may be diminished but the [[pH]] and [[pCO2]] are normal.
-===Hematocrit===
+* Diminished oxygen saturation but the [[pH]] and [[pCO2]] are normal
-The [[hematocrit]] usually ranges from 65% to 70% in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
-===Platelet Count===
+* [[Hematocrit]] ranges from 65% to 70% in patients with tetralogy of Fallot
-Patients with tetralogy of Fallot may also have a [[low platelet count]] .
-===Coagulation Factors===
+* [[Low platelet count]]
-Patients with tetralogy of Fallot may have lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of [[fibrinogen]]. The [[prothrombin time]] ([[PT]]) may be prolonged.
+* Lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of [[fibrinogen]]
+* Prolonged [[prothrombin time]] ([[PT]])
