Overview
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings that might help in the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis include:
- Complete blood cell count: If the white blood cell count is elevated, infection should be considered. A disproportionately high hemoglobin (polycythemia) level may be indicative of poor pulmonary blood flow[1].
- Complete chemistry profile: The results of this test may help delineate metabolic abnormalities associated with certain inborn errors of metabolism[2].
- Liver biochemical test abnormalities, including mild elevation in the serum bilirubin (most of which is unconjugated), occur in patients with hepatic congestion.
- Other liver biochemical tests such as serum alkaline phosphatase and serum aminotransferase levels may be normal or mildly increased.
- Serum albumin levels may be normal or mildly depressed.
