==Laboratory Findings==
* [[Leukocytosis]] may be present if [[gangrene]] has formed due to intussusception
* [[Dehydration]] - persistent [[vomiting]] and fluid sequestration due to [[Bowel obstruction|obstructed bowel]] may lead to dehydration  
* [[Electrolyte disturbance|Electrolyte imbalance]] - persistent [[vomiting]] and fluid sequestration due to [[Intestinal obstruction|obstructed bowel]] may lead to [[dehydration]]

Overview

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with intussusception. If intestinal gangrene develops as a complication of intussusception, then it may lead to leukocytosis. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances may develop due to persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration because of obstructed bowel.
