Evaluation of Liver Function
There is a broad spectrum of laboratory tests used to evaluate liver function and liver damage. Testing may be ordered as part of a routine evaluation or to screen for and monitor liver disease. Liver function test results provide clinicians with information that can guide decisions about further etiologic testing. For more information, refer to the ARUP Consult Evaluation of Liver Function topic.
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms - MPNs
Laboratory findings play an essential role in the diagnosis and classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms, which include chronic myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, and myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable. Refer to the updated ARUP Consult Myeloproliferative Neoplasms - MPNs topic for details on the use of molecular testing, cytogenetic analysis, and other laboratory tests to identify these conditions.
Hemolytic Anemias Testing Algorithm
Hemolytic anemias result from the premature destruction of red blood cells. The updated Hemolytic Anemias Testing Algorithm describes the laboratory testing used to determine the underlying causes of hemolytic anemias.
