Hallucinations: Lab Test

2nd order laboratory parameters – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.

  • Small blood count
  • Inflammatory parameters – CRP (C-reactive protein).
  • Urine status (rapid test for: pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, bilirubin, blood), sediment, if necessary urine culture (pathogen detection and resistogram, that is, testing suitable antibiotics for sensitivity / resistance).
  • Fasting glucose (fasting blood glucose).
  • Blood gas analysis (BGA)
  • Thyroid parameters – TSH
  • Liver parameters – alanine aminotransferase (ALT, GPT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, GOT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma-GT, GGT), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin.
  • Renal parameters – urea, creatinine, cystatin C or creatinine clearance, if necessary.
  • Ethanol (ethanol) determination
  • Drug test – to exclude substance-induced psychosis.
  • Blood cultures, swabs from drains, etc.
