Overview
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings in patients of ileus includes[1]
- CBC: It may show anemia, increased total leukocyte count suggestive of infection
- Liver function tests: Deranged LFT may cause ileus
- Renal function test: Increased blood urea nitrogen may lead to ileus
- Serum electrolytes: Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia and hyponatremia all contribute to muscle paralysis
- Serum amylase: Acute or chronic pancreatitis may alter GI function
- Serum lipase: To rule out pancreatitis as a cause of ileus
- Serum albumin and prealbumin: To identify the presence of ascitis
- Measurements of inflammatory markers such as interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1, IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a).
