Laboratory parameters of the 1st order – obligatory laboratory tests.
- Small blood count
- Inflammatory parameters – CRP (C-reactive protein) or ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
- Highly sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) or troponin I (hs-cTnI) – for suspected myocardial infarction (heart attack).
- D-dimers – for suspected thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and the obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Blood gas analysis (ABG), arterial.
- Liver parameters – alanine aminotransferase (ALT, GPT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, GOT), bilirubin.
- Renal parameters – urea, creatinine, creatinine clearance if necessary.
- Pancreatic parameters – amylase, elastase and lipase.
