Overview
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
- [Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
- 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
Lab findings for asymptomatic gynecomastia have a low yield, however, following lab work up can be done:[1][2][3][4]
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
- Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Creatinine (Cr)
- Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S)
- Estradiol
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
- Liver function tests (LFTs)
- Prolactin
- Testosterone
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
