Overview

Laboratory investigations serve as important screening tools for thyroid dysfunction, renal dysfunction, liver dysfunction, new onset diabetes mellitus,vitamin D deficiency and ovarian reserve.

Lab Findings

  1. Serum gonadotrophins and anti Mullerian hormone- ovarian reserve.
  2. Renal function tests – renal failure secondary to structural abnormalities.[1]
  3. Thyroid function tests – thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism
  4. Liver function tests – focal nodular hyperplasia
  5. Serum IgA and IgA anti endomysium and IgA antigliadin antibodies – Celiac disease
  6. Lipid profile – hyperlipidemia
  7. Oral glucose tolerance test and serum glycosylated hemoglobin – for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  8. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D- Vitamin D deficiency.[2]
