Overview
Laboratory findings associated with lung mass varies with the underlying presentation. The findings may range from normal to severely elevated. In general, a thorough laboratory evaluation is necessary to accurately assess, diagnose and stage the severity of lung mass. Laboratory evaluations include complete blood count, electrolytes, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, serum creatinine, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings associated with lung mass include:[1]
- Anemia on complete blood count[2][3]
- Electrolytes imbalance[4][5]
- Raised serum alkaline phosphatase[6]
- Deranged levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
- Serum bilirubin has a negative association with the decline in FEV1 and FVC and a positive association with the decline in FEV1/FVC[7][8]
- Elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)[9]
- Elevated serum tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS)[10]
