Overview
Laboratory findings associated with thymoma may include antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor, abnormal electrolytes, renal and liver function tests.
Laboratory Findings
If the suspicion is high, some blood tests are often performed to look for associated problems or possible spread. These include:[1]
- Full blood count
- Protein electrophoresis
- Antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (indicative of myasthenia gravis)
- Electrolytes
- Liver enzymes
- Renal function
- Antineutrophil antibody
