Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of jaundice include:
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- Total and unconjugated Bilirubin
- Aspartate transaminase(AST) (or) SGOT
- Alanine transaminase(ALT) (or) SGPT
- Albumin
- Alkaline phosphatase
- HIV serologies
- Hepatitis serologies
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
- Antimitochondrial antibodies
- Haptoglobin
- Reticulocyte count
- Leukocytosis
- Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
Inalcoholic hepatitis the aspartate aminotransferase:alanine aminotransferase ratio is > 2 (AST:ALT)
