- In most of the patients metabolic imbalance may occur and it includes:

- Hypomagnesemia
- General laboratory tests are performed to exclude other causes and disease. The laboratory tests include the following:
- Complete blood count
- Electrolytes balance
- Lactate levels
- Thyroid hormones level
- To exclude acute abdominal pain diagnosis in patients suspected with perforation, the following laboratory tests are performed:
- Serum Aminotransferase
- Serum Alkaline phosphatase
- Bilirubin level
- Lipase level
- In patients with diarrhea, the following laboratory tests are performed:
- Stool culture for Clostridia difficile
