How is it diagnosed?
Doctors may order the following to diagnose SE:
• glucose and electrolyte levels tests
• a complete blood count
• renal and liver function tests
• toxicological screening
• arterial blood gas tests
Other possible tests include:
• electroencephalography
• blood cultures
• urinalysis
• CT scan or MRI of the brain
• chest X-ray
It can be difficult to diagnose nonconvulsive SE because the condition may be mistaken for other conditions, such as psychosis and drug intoxication.
