Overview
There are no diagnostic lab findings associated with intussusception. If due to intussusception gangrene develops then it may lead to leukocytosis. Dehydration and electrolyte may develop due to persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration because of obstructed bowel.
Laboratory Findings
- Leukocytosis may be present if gangrene has formed due to intussusception.
- Dehydration - persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration due to obstructed bowel may lead to dehydration.
- Electrolyte imbalance - persistent vomiting and fluid sequestration due to obstructed bowel may lead to dehydration.
