Preoperative Examination Items
Disease description:
I have a friend who is 30 years old this year. He was recently diagnosed with leukemia. According to his parents, he needs surgical treatment to alleviate his condition—a process that is extremely painful. I would like to ask the physician: What tests are required prior to surgery?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Hello,
1. A complete blood count (CBC) helps assess whether the patient has anemia, thrombocytopenia, or elevated white blood cell count.
2. Liver and kidney function tests, along with electrolyte evaluation, help determine whether the patient has hepatic or renal insufficiency or hypoalbuminemia.
3. Cardiac function assessment—including electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography—helps evaluate for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, or valvular heart disease.
4. Pulmonary function evaluation—including chest CT and pulmonary function testing—helps identify pulmonary infection and assess whether lung function is adequate to tolerate surgery; consultation with relevant departments may be required when necessary.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health and a joyful life!
