You need to monitor potassium levels because Lasix tends to deplete potassium.

Lab values that should be monitored with antineoplastic agents include complete blood count (CBC) for monitoring levels of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets; liver function tests (such as AST, ALT, and bilirubin) to assess liver function; and kidney function tests (such as creatinine and BUN) to evaluate renal function. It is also important to monitor electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) due to potential imbalances caused by certain antineoplastic agents.
lab values for n is 135,lab values for k is 3.5 to 5.5.
Serum creatinine
The normal lab values for lipase are 10 - 140 U/L. This being said, there are many factors which need to be considered when interpreting lab results. Even a value within this range could represent a problem. Only qualified health care professionals should make treatment decisions.
recording a series of lab values over a period of time to see if they change
In lab the values are obtained under controlled atmosphere and specific guidelines which can be maintained for long but outside the lab we cannot maintain same atmosphere.
lipase
you will be looking for beta natriuretic peptide increases... otherwise known as BNP other abnormal lab values
Liver function is commonly monitored using several key lab values, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), which indicate liver cell injury. Additionally, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin levels help assess bile duct function and liver excretion capability. Other important markers include albumin and prothrombin time (PT), which evaluate the liver's synthetic function. Together, these values provide crucial insights into liver health and function.
