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
- Laboratory investigations are often performed when a systemic/pharmacological cause of palpitations is suspected.
- Laboratory Investigations that have proven to be diagnostic include :
- A complete blood count - Anemia
- Renal function test - Acute kidney injury, Chronic kidney disease
- Urine catecholamines - Pheochormocytoma
- Thyroid function tests - Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism
- Blood sugar levels - Hypoglycemia
- Serum drug levels [1] - Substance abuse (cocaine,amphetamine, MDMA)
