A patient who has experienced a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or stroke, may exhibit several abnormal lab values. Common findings include elevated levels of D-dimer, indicating potential clot formation, and abnormal coagulation profiles, such as prolonged prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) if there is an underlying coagulopathy. Additionally, electrolyte imbalances, particularly hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, may also be present. Monitoring these lab values is crucial for guiding treatment and management.
