Overview
An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
OR
[Test] is usually normal for patients with [disease name].
OR
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
OR
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
Laboratory Findings
- There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- Complete blood count is usullay done to rull out anemia as a cause of dyspnea.
- Tyroid tests are usually done because tyroid disease is usullay associate with bilateral diaphragamtic paralysiss
- Laboratory test is usually normal among patients with unilateral daiphragmatic paralysis.
- Occasionally, oxygen saturation is reduced in the supine position. In the absence of accompanying lung disease, it is unusual for the patient with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis to develop an elevated arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) [
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis include:[1]
- Reduced oxygen saturation in the supine position in unilateral and bilateral diphragmatic paralysis
- Elevated arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis
- Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
