Overview
Laboratory tests consistent with diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess include complete blood picture, ESR, C-reactive protein, liver function tests, pus culture, and blood culture.[1]
Diagnostic Criteria
Diagnostic criteria for pyogenic liver abscess are:[1]
- Liver aspirate or surgical tissue culture positive from a discrete liver abscess
- Diagnostic imaging consistent with liver abscess with a concurrent positive blood culture
- Diagnostic imaging consistent with liver abscess and a defined radiologic and clinical response to antimicrobial management even if cultures were negative or not performed.
Laboratory findings
| Lab Test | Findings |
|---|---|
| Complete Blood count |
|
| ESR and CRP |
Elevated ESR and C-reactive protein |
| Liver function tests |
|
| Pus culture | Pus drained from abscess is used for culture and sensitivity |
| Blood culture |
