Overview
Pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, and lung biopsies may be helpful in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for pneumoconiosis include: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
- Pulmonary function tests (PFT), which demonstrates:
- Decreased FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio
- Decreased DLCO
- Decreased compliance
- Bronchoalveolar lavage:
- Can be used to study cytology and exclude other pathologies
- Asbestos bodies can be identified to diagnose asbestosis
- Can be used to diagnose berylliosis with a beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test
- Lung biopsy can be used to confirm the pneumoconiosis
- Noncaseating granulomas can be seen in berylliosis
