• Thyroid panel: Hyperthyroidism
• Metabolic panel: Hypoglycemia
• Liver function test: Hepatic encephalopathy
• Renal function test: Renal impairment
• Urinary copper, ceruloplasmin: Wilsons disease
• Heavy metal poisoning (lead)
• CSF examination for oligoclonal IgG in patients suspected with multiple sclerosis
