Overview
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:
- Laboratory tests that might be abnormal in a patient with hemoptysis:
- Arterial blood gases might show:
- Hypoxia (normal PaO2 )
- Blood urea nitrogen might be elevated (normal BUN )
- Creatinine might be elevated (normal Cr )
- Complete blood count (CBC) might show:
- Elevated WBC (normal WBC )
- Elevated platelet (normal plt )
- Anemia (normal Hb )
- Coagulation studies might show:
- Elevated prothrombin time (normal PT )
- Elevated partial thromboplastin time (normal PTT )
- Urinalysis might show:
- Hematuria (normal RBC in urine <5)
- Electrolytes
- Elevated potassium (normal K )
- Arterial blood gases might show:
