Overview
Most common laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of infantile pyloric stenosis and adult type pyloric stenosis include hypokalemia , hypochloremia, and metabolic alkalosis.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of pyloric stenosis include electrolyte imbalances such as:[1]
- Hypokalemia
- Hypochloremia
- Metabolic alkalosis due to loss of gastric acid (which contain hydrochloric acid and potassium) via persistent vomiting; these findings can be seen with severe vomiting from any cause.
