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].
