Laboratory Findings

Blood Tests

• Complete blood count is performed to check the blood counts.
• Liver function tests and renal function tests are performed to assess the liver and kidneys, respectively.

The initial diagnosis is made by biopsy of suspicious lesions on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD, upper endoscopy). Simultaeneously tests for H pylori are also done to detect the presence of this microbe.
