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
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
OR
An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
OR
[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include:
- [Abnormal test 1]
- [Abnormal test 2]
- [Abnormal test 3]
OR
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. [1] [2] [3]
