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
Diagnostic laboratory findings associated with esophageal stricture due to different causes include:
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- Complete blood cell (CBC) count is usually normal among patients with esophageal stricture but anemia may be seen in esophageal stricture due to malignant causes and severe esophagitis.
- liver profile studies are usually normal except in esophageal stricture due to malignant causes with metastasis to liver.
- Complete metabolic panel may be abnormal ins esophageal stricture due to malignant causes
- High serum gastrin levels in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome as one of the causes of esophageal stricture [1]
- Peripheral eosinophilia in eosinophilic esophagitis [1]
- 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].
