Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Farima Kahe M.D. [2]

An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

OR

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].

OR

[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].

OR

Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].

OR

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].

Leucocytosis
- Present in a few patients of strangulated inguinal hernia.
Lactate levels
- Elevation of lactate is present in hypoperfusion
- Normal levels may be present in patients of strangulated inguinal hernia.
Urinalysis
- To rule out genitourinary causes of groin pain with associated hernias.

Preoperative workup of inguinal hernia include:
- Electrolyte
- Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Creatinine
