1Linked diagnostic tests and investigations
9These are pulled from both EH diagnostic-test link tables, including the older large test-link table.
- Amniotic Fluid Bilirubin Concentration
- Bilirubin Concentration (Neonates, Neonatal Bilirubin)
- Coagulation Factor Assay (Blood Clotting Factors)
- Erythrocyte Fragility Test (Osmotic Fragility, OF)
- Fecal Urobilinogen Concentration
- Free Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin (FEP) Concentration
- Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Concentration
- Protein Electrophoresis (Blood, Serum Protein)
- Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) Test
Biological and test markers
11This visual map uses existing EH database links to show biological agents and lab markers reported as increased, decreased, or associated with this condition. These are educational relationships only; test results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician because ranges vary by lab, method, age, sex and clinical context.
