Lesson 1Lab and imaging workup: baseline CBC, platelets, LFTs, creatinine, coagulation panel, urinalysis, and when to use CT/MRI in seizure workupOutlines key lab and imaging checks in eclampsia, including base blood count and metabolic tests, clotting and kidney panels, urine studies, and reasons for CT or MRI to rule out other brain issues.
