Overview
Laboratory findings that may present with familial adenomatous polyposis include anemia and abnormal liver function tests due to colon cancer metastasis.
Laboratory Findings
- Blood tests evaluating liver function are often performed to rule out metastasis to the liver.
- Genetic testing provides the ultimate diagnosis in 95%; genetic counseling is usually needed in families where FAP has been diagnosed. Testing may also aid in the diagnosis of borderline cases in families that are otherwise known to have the FAP mutation.
