Overview
Laboratory investigations are often performed when a systemic/pharmacological cause of palpitations is suspected. These would be directed towards diagnosing kidney problems, pheochromocytoma, thyroid dysfunction and substance abuse.
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory investigations are often performed when a systemic/pharmacological cause of palpitations is suspected.
- Laboratory Investigations that have proven to be diagnostic include :
- A complete blood count - Anemia
- Renal function test - Acute kidney injury, Chronic kidney disease
- Urine catecholamines - Pheochormocytoma
- Thyroid function tests - Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism
- Blood sugar levels - Hypoglycemia
- Serum drug levels [1] - Substance abuse (cocaine,amphetamine, MDMA)
