Overview
Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry studies, HIV blood test, and hepatitis B blood test.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include the following:
Complete Blood Count
- In early stage of the disease the complete blood count (CBC) may be normal.
- Anemia may be seen secondary to involvement of bone marrow, autoimmune hemolysis and bleeding.
- Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, or pancytopenia may be seen after bone marrow infiltration or autoimmune cytopenias.
- Lymphocytosis with circulating malignant cells seen in low grade lymphomas.
- Thrombocytosis may be seen as a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Blood Chemistry Studies
- Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)correlates with poor prognosis.
- Liver function test (LFT) results may be abnormal secondary to hepatic involvement.
- Hypercalcemia may be seen in patients with acute form of adult T-cell lymphoma-leukemia (ATLL).
