Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors, may include: elevated LDH, alkaline phosphatase (related with prognosis), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).[1]
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors, may include:[1]
- Elevated LDH
- Elevated alkaline phosphatase (related with prognosis)
- Elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
- Measurement of serum LDH and alkaline phosphatase may be considered for prognosis among patients with osteosarcoma.
