Overview
Hemoptysis is an important symptom that indicates an underlying pulmonary or extrapulmonary causes. Hemoptysis usually happens following bronchitis as an acute symptom and it resolves spontaneously or with antibiotic therapy within a week. Watchful observation in a patient with hemoptysis and normal chest x-ray is recommended. However, persistent and massive hemoptysis requires further investigations. Asphyxia and airway obstruction are common after massive hemoptysis. Prognosis of hemoptysis is generally excellent. However, massive hemoptysis has a poor prognosis and the mortality rate of patients with hemoptysis is approximately 50-100%, if left untreated.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- Hemoptysis is an important symptom that indicates an underlying pulmonary or extrapulmonary causes.[1][2]
- Hemoptysis usually happens following bronchitis as an acute symptom and it resolves spontaneously or with antibiotic therapy within a week.[3]
- Watchful observation in a patient with hemoptysis and normal chest x-ray is recommended.
- Patients with warning signs must be investigated. Warning signs are as follow:[4][5]
- Persistent hemoptysis more than one week
- Chest pain
- Weight loss
- Night sweats
- Fever higher than 101 degrees
- Shortness of breath
- Change in cough
- Fatigue
Complications
- Common complications of massive hemoptysis include:[6][7]
- Complications after bronchial artery embolization include:[8][9][10]
- Spinal cord injury
- Esophageal ulcer
- Stroke
- Bronchial infarction
- Transient chest pain
Prognosis
- Prognosis of hemoptysis is generally excellent. However, it requires further investigations.[3]
- Massive hemoptysis has a poor prognosis and the mortality rate of patients with hemoptysis is approximately 50-100%, if left untreated.[11][12]
