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
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- There are different laboratory tests that are used for diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia and following complications which include:
- Arterial Blood Gas and Mixed Venous Gas Analysis show:
- Acute hypoxemia
- Normal to low partial pressure of carbon dioxide
- High lactate level if patient is in septic shock
- Decreased mixed venous oxygen saturation if patient is in septic shock
- Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
