Dr Advait Kulkarni (Neurologist in Bengaluru) 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.
