Common lab tests that are required for evaluating a patient with Alstrom syndrome include:

• Fasting blood glucose
• Glucose tolerance test
• Plasma insulin - hyperinsulinemia may be present
• Fasting lipid profile - hypertriglyceridemia may be present
• Thyroid function tests like TSH, free T₄
• Blood pituitary hormone levels
• Urinalysis in symptomatic patients
• Blood urea, BUN, lectrolytes - may reveal renal failure
• Liver function tests like ALT, AST, GGT
