ABSTRACT
Glucose ■ No definite relation between asymptomatic hyperglycemia
and perioperative morbidity. ■ Not routinely recommended
Liver Function Tests ■ Asymptomatic mildly abnormal liver function tests are not
associated with perioperative morbidity. ■ Clinical liver disease may pose a risk; these patients are iden-
tified without screening. ■ Not routinely recommended
Tests of Hemostasis ■ Incidence of surgically important abnormalities in patients
without a clinical history of bleeding tendency is extremely low.
