Ovierview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia include eosinophilia, lymphocytosis, red cell production reduced, thrombocytopenia. Chemistry panels with altered levels of uric acid, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, potassium, phosphate, calcium, bilirubin, hepatic transaminases and ferritin. A spinal tap will tell if the spinal column and brain has been invaded.
Laboratory Findings
- Complete blood count is typically remarkable for the following abnormalities:
- A chemistry panel may also demonstrated altered concentrations of the following:[1]
- A spinal tap is often requierd to evaluate for central nervous system involvement.
