Overview
The pertinent laboratory findings of liposarcoma include anemia and elevated BUN due to GI bleeding and elevated creatinine among patients with obstructive nephropathy.
Laboratory findings
- There are no specific laboratory tests for the diagnosis of liposarcoma.
- Patients with ureteral or renal involvement, an elevated creatinine may be observed.
- Anemia and elevated BUN may be present among patients with liposarcoma assoicated with GI bleeding.[1]
- The level of D-dimer has been studied as a marker for the differential diagnosis of lipoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma. Results have demonstrated that liposarcoma may have increased levels of D-dimer compared to lipoma.[2]
