Overview
Laboratory findings may differ according to the etiology of delirium. Following investigations are done in delirium: pulse oximetry, electrolytes, blood glucose, liver function tests, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, vitamin B12 , Folate levels, measurement therapeutic drug levels, urine drug screen for substance use, blood alcohol level, complete blood count, urinalysis, thyroid function testing, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, rapid plasma reagin screening for syphilis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome/human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS/HIV) screening.
Laboratory Findings
There are no specific laboratory findings associated with delirium. Common laboratory tests for delirium include:[1]
- Pulse oximetry
- Electrolytes, blood glucose, liver function tests, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine
- Vitamin B12 , Folate levels
- Measurement therapeutic drug levels
- Urine drug screen for substance use
- Blood alcohol level
- Complete blood count
- Urinalysis
- Thyroid function testing
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein
- Rapid plasma reagin screening for syphilis
- Acquired immune deficiency syndrome/human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS/HIV) screening
