Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of delirium tremens include hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, and severe dehydration.
Laboratory Findings
Electrolyte and Biomarker Studies
- Complete blood count, differential count
- Drug screening
- Blood lactate levels
- Osmolal gap
- Serum levels of following electrolytes[1]
- Bicarbonate - decrease
- Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) - may increase
- Chloride - may remain unchanged
- Creatine phosphokinase - Some patients develop rhabdomyolysis
- Creatinine - may increase
- Ketones
- Lipase -
- Liver function tests - abnormal
- Magnesium - decrease
- Potassium - decreased
- Sodium - decreased
- CSF examination - ruling out infections of the brain
