- Rule out infection
- Assess how well the blood-forming organs (such as the bone marrow and spleen) are working and to see if Hodgkin's lymphoma cells have spread to the bone marrow
- Provide a baseline for future blood counts taken during and after treatment
- Blood chemistry studies include:
- Protein levels
- Liver function tests
- Kidney function tests
