Overview
Laboratory Findings
- There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with gastroparesis.
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of gastroparesis and its complications include:
- CBC
- Elevated BUN in severe dehydration (normal BUN <20 mg/dL)
- Elevated creatinine in severe dehydration (normal creatinine <1.1 mg/dL for female, <1.2 mg/dL for male)
- Elevated c-reactive protein (normal CRP <0.8 mg/dL)
- Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (normal ESR <20 mm/h)
- Hypoalbuminemia (normal albumin >3.5 g/dL)
- Patients with gastroparesis might have abnormal tests depends on underlying cause:
