Overview
Laboratory findings associated with thymoma may include antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor, abnormal electrolytes, renal and liver function tests.
[abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
Laboratory Findings
If the suspicion is high, some blood tests are often performed to look for associated problems or possible spread. These include:[1]
- Full blood count
- Protein electrophoresis
- Antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (indicative of myasthenia gravis)
- Electrolytes
- Liver enzymes
- Renal function
- Antineutrophil antibody
