Résumé |
Can laboratory tests that are routinely used in adult patients also be used in pediatric patients? Does the current literature support the routine use of troponin, brain natriuretic peptide, D-dimer, and lactate in children? Adult problems such as acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism are rare in pediatrics, and there is a paucity of literature on how blood tests commonly used to help diagnose these conditions in adults play a role in the diagnosis and management of children. This article presents the literature about 4 common blood tests and examines the clinical applications of each.
