Overview
Laboratory findings are usually normal among patients with esophageal stricture although anemia may be seen with malignant causes of esophageal stricture.
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
LAB is usually normal among 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
Diagnostic laboratory findings associated with esophageal stricture due to different causes include:[1]
- Complete blood cell (CBC) count is usually normal among patients with esophageal stricture but anemia may be seen in esophageal stricture due to malignant causes and severe esophagitis.
- liver profile studies are usually normal except in esophageal stricture due to malignant causes with metastasis to liver.
- High serum gastrin levels in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome as one of the causes of esophageal stricture
- Peripheral eosinophilia in eosinophilic esophagitis
