Overview
Laboratory findings for the diagnosis of unstable angina and NSTEMI include some baseline tests such as a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, serum creatinine and measurement of acute phase reactants.
Blood Studies
Routine blood studies employed in the work up of unstable angina/NSTEMI include:
- Complete blood count - to rule out anemia, which is a potential secondary cause of UA/NSTEMI.
- Electrolyte levels - especially potassium and magnesium, whose levels if reduced can be a potential cause of ventricular arrhythmias.
- Serum creatinine levels - to determine the renal function if coronary revascularization procedure is considered or planned.
- Acute-phase reactant proteins like interleukin 6 and serum amyloid A - have a predictive value in assessing the risk of adverse outcomes in UA.
