Overview
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].
OR
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Diagnostic Studies
- There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].
Endoscopic Examination and Mucosal Biopsy
Sigmoidoscopy and Colonoscopy
- Conditions such as melanosis coli due to laxative abuse,amebiasis, polyps,ulceration,Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis may be diagnosed by endoscopic examination.
- Less common causes of acute diarrhea such as microscopic colitis (lymphocytic and collagenous colitis),Whipple's disease,and schistosomiasis may require biopsy for histological diagnosis.
Upper Tract Endoscopy
- Crohn's disease, giardiasis, intestinal lymphoma,lymphangiectasia, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, Whipple's disease,mastocytosis, abetalipoproteinemia,and various fungal, protozoal, and parasitic infections may be diagnosed through upper GI endoscopy and biopsy.
- An aspirate of small intestinal contents may be sent for quantitative bacterial culture (aerobic and anaerobic) in case of suspected bacterial overgrowth and may be used for microscopy to detect parasites.
