Overview
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with pneumoconiosis. Findings are generally nonspecific and therefore not of clinical significance. [1]
Laboratory Findings
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with pneumoconiosis. Some patients with pneumoconiosis may have elevated concentrations of some serum and urinary markers. These include SMRP, fibulin-3 which suggest asbestos exposure. Research is also in the development of a breath test to test for pneumoconiosis which would check the levels of pentane, C5-C7 alkanes, and methylated alkanes. [2] [3] [4]
