Laboratory Findings

• Lab findings of norovirus infection are usually related to the degree of dehydration. Lab findings include:

• WBC count may be normal or elevated
• Elevated concentration of inflammatory markers (e.g. CRP or ESR)
• Chloride-sensitive metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte derangement (commonly hypokalemia)
• Relative polycythemia
• Elevated concentration of BUN
• Elevated creatinine is suggestive of pre-renal acute kidney injury in severe dehydration
