Laboratory Findings
- There are laboratory tests that are helpful for diagnosis the underlying cause of hemoptysis.
- Sputum analysis provides valuable information about the cause of hemoptysis. Sputum must be evaluated for the followings:
- Cytology
- Gram stain
- Culture
- Acid-fast stain
- Laboratory tests that might be abnormal in a patient with hemoptysis:
- Sputum analysis provides valuable information about the cause of hemoptysis. Sputum must be evaluated for the followings:
