Overview
Laboratory tests for osteosarcoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies such as serum alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests for osteosarcoma include the following:
- Complete blood count with differential.
- Blood chemistry studies include:
- Serum alkaline phosphatase.
- With osteosarcoma, serum alkaline phosphatase is higher than normal in 45%–50% of people.[1]
- Lactate dehydrogenase.
- Serum alkaline phosphatase.
