  • Urine microscopy, culture, sensitivities
  • Blood tests: blood glucose, FBC, renal function, liver function, inflammatory markers, amylase, cholesterol, triglycerides
  • Other blood tests if indicated, e.g. paracetamol levels, thyroid function tests
  • Stool samples if diarrhoea: microscopy, culture, sensitivity, ova, cysts, parasites
  • Abdominal imaging
  • Abdominal X-ray, e.g. if looking for obstruction
  • Chest X-ray, e.g. for pneumonia or air under the diaphragm
  • Ultrasound scan of the abdomen, kidneys, pelvis (females) and testes (males)
  • CT scan may also be appropriate, especially if there is a mass, trauma, jaundice or pancreatitis
  • Endoscopy: will depend upon preliminary findings and history; in the absence of any abnormality on blood screen and imaging, negative endoscopy is very likely
