The primary healtii care provider may order many laboratory and diagnostic tests, such as an electroencephalogram, computed tomographic scan, complete blood count, and hepatic and renal function tests to confirm the diagnosis and identify a possible cause of the seizure disorder, as well as to provide a baseline during therapy with anticonvulsants.
