Overview

An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

OR

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].

OR

[Test] is usually normal for patients with [disease name].

OR

Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].

OR

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].

Laboratory Findings

These investigations are carried out to rule out other diagnosis. No definite abnormalities are associated with PDs. The laboratory tests conducted comprises:

  1. Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and ferritin levels.
  2. Thyroid function tests, fasting glucose and cortisol levels.
  3. Toxicology screen is done to differentiate substance abuse disorder from PD and also, as substance abuse is common with PSs.
  4. Sexually Transmitted disease screening is required. HIV patients may also present with personality changes. Moreover, PD patients have impulse control disorder and may get introduced with such infections.
