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
Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include[1]:
- Complete Blood Picture - leukocytosis or leukopenia
- C-Reactive Protein - it is an acute phase reactant that may be increased
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - it is an acute phase reactant that may be increased
- Arterial Blood Gas - Hypoxemia
- Nasopharyngeal culture
- Tracheal culture
- Blood culture
- Flexible/ Direct laryngoscopy
- Bronchoscopy
