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].

OR

  • An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
  • [Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
  • Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include:
    • [Abnormal test 1]
    • [Abnormal test 2]
    • [Abnormal test 3]
  • Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
  • Basophilic stippling of red blood cells
  • Elevated serum lead levels
  • K-fluorescent X-ray metering can measure bone-lead.

Shown below is an image depicting basophilic stippling in a blood smear of a patient with lead poisoning.
