Overview
Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, immunohistochemistry, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and immunophenotyping.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests for Hodgkin's lymphoma include the following:[1][2]
- Complete blood count (CBC)is done to:
- Help rule out infection
- Assess how well the blood-forming organs (such as the bone marrow and spleen) are working and to see if HL cells have spread to the bone marrow
- Provide a baseline for future blood counts taken during and after treatment
- Blood chemistry studies including protein levels, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and uric acid level
- HIV blood test
- Immunohistochemistry helps determine the types of cells that are present, including Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells.
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- Immunophenotyping:
