What to look for in a blood test for bowel cancer

Blood routine: mainly look at red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin and other items. Among them, red blood cells and hemoglobin can clarify whether the patient is anemic or not, and initially analyze the patient’s physical condition. White blood cells are related to the inflammatory reaction of the body. 2. Liver and kidney function: mainly to see the patient’s liver and kidney function. During treatment, some chemotherapy drugs or targeted drugs need to be metabolized through the liver pathway and kidney pathway, which may cause liver and kidney function damage.
