Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Lab findings of norovirus infection are usually related to the degree of dehydration. Lab findings include:
- WBC count may be normal or elevated
- Elevated concentration of inflammatory markers (e.g. CRP or ESR)
- Chloride-sensitive metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte derangement (commonly hypokalemia)
- Relative polycythemia
- Elevated concentration of BUN
- Elevated creatinine is suggestive of pre-renal acute kidney injury in severe dehydration
