Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include diminished oxygen saturation, hematocrit between 65% to 70%, and low platelet count and coagulation factors.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot include:[1]
- Hematocrit ranges from 65% to 70% in patients with tetralogy of Fallot
- Lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of fibrinogen
- Prolonged prothrombin time (PT)
