Blood Chemistries
Routine, and where appropriate special blood chemistries, a hemogram, and a urinalysis should be obtained. The choice of special laboratory tests depends upon the clinical circumstances. If a collagen vascular or immune complex disease is suspected, the serum complement should be measured. Determination of the titer of antinuclear antibodies is indicated in patients suspected to have systemic lupus erythematosus. In patients with a clinical picture consistent with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis or Goodpasture’s syndrome, the serum should be checked for the presence of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. Serum and urine protein electrophoresis is indicated in patients in whom the diagnosis of multiple myeloma is suggested.
