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

  • An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
  • There are different laboratory tests that are used for diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia and following complications which include:
    • Arterial Blood Gas and Mixed Venous Gas Analysis show:
      • Acute hypoxemia
      • Normal to low partial pressure of carbon dioxide
      • High lactate level if patient is in septic shock
      • Decreased mixed venous oxygen saturation if patient is in septic shock
  • Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
