==Overview==
'''For patient information, click [[{{PAGENAME}} (patient information)|here]].'''
'''Hemoptysis''' or '''haemoptysis''' (see [[American and British English spelling differences#Simplification of ae .28.C3.A6.29 and oe .28.C5.93.29|American and British spelling differences]]) is the expectoration ([[cough]]ing up) of [[blood]] or of blood-stained [[sputum]] from a source below the vocal cords such as the [[bronchi]], [[larynx]], [[vertebrate trachea|trachea]], or [[lungs]] (e.g. in tuberculosis or other respiratory infections).  It is not the same as [[hematemesis]], which refers to [[vomit]]ing up blood.


==Pathophysiology==
{{CMG}}; {{AE}} {{SSH}}
In most cases of hemoptysis, bleeding comes from the bronchial arteries as opposed to the pulmonary arteries.


===Common Causes===
{{SK}} Spitting up blood; bloody sputum; coughing up blood; blood in sputum; haemoptysis
This can be due to [[bronchitis]] or [[pneumonia]] most commonly, but also to [[lung cancer|lung neoplasm]] (in smokers, when hemoptysis is persistent), [[aspergilloma]], [[tuberculosis]], [[bronchiectasis]], [[coccidioidomycosis]], [[pulmonary embolism]], or [[Bubonic plague|pneumonic plague]].


Rarer causes include [[hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia]] (HHT or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome), or [[Goodpasture's syndrome]] and [[Wegener's granulomatosis]].In children it is commonly due to a [[foreign body]] in the [[respiratory tract]].
==[[Hemoptysis overview|Overview]]==


It can result from over-anticoagulation from treatment by drugs such as [[warfarin]].
==[[Hemoptysis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


Cardiac causes like congestive heart failure and mitral stenosis should be ruled out.
== [[Hemoptysis classification|Classification]] ==


The origin of blood can be known by observing its color. Bright red, foamy blood comes from the respiratory tract while dark red, coffee-colored blood comes from the [[gastrointestinal tract]].
==[[Hemoptysis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
==[[Hemoptysis causes|Causes]]==


20% of the cases of hemoptysis are idiopathic in nature.
