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 among 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

  • This is due to lack of definitive radio logic or laboratory diagnostic tests in IBS.There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].

The diagnosis of IBS relies on recognition of gastrointestinal symptoms that wax and wane for and are exacerbated by psycho social stress. Diagnosis of IBS is based on on clinical symptoms and elimination of other organic gastrointestinal diseases. This is due to lack of definitive radio logic or laboratory diagnostic tests in IBS.[1][2][3][4][5]The hallmark of IBS is abdominal pain. A positive history of stress, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders such as IBD and acute GI infection predispose individuals to IBS. The most common symptoms of IBS include presence of abdominal pain and alteration of bowel habits. Less common symptoms of IBS include gas, flatulence and upper GI symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, dyspepsia and vomiting

History and Symptoms

OR

  • 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]
    • [Abnormal test 3]
  • Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
