==Overview==
[[Complete blood cell count]] (CBC), if the [[White blood cell (WBC) count|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 bilirubin|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<ref name="pmid29763166">{{cite journal |vauthors=Golamari R, Bhattacharya PT |title= |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |date= |pmid=29763166 |doi= |url=}}</ref>.
