Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- The initial diagnostic study in a patient with hemoptysis is chest x-ray.[1]
- Chest x-ray might show underlying cause. However, it might be normal as well.[2]
- The next step is to perform high resolution CT scan or bronchoscopy.[3]
- HRCT is better in some conditions, such as:[4][5]
- Flexible bronchoscopy is better in some conditions, such as:[6]
- Subtle mucosal abnormalities
- Bronchitis
- Dieulafoy disease
- Kaposi sarcoma
- Subtle mucosal abnormalities
Diagnosis of Mild to Moderate Hemoptysis
The algorithm is based on the American Family Physician Journal of hemoptysis: Diagnosis and Management [7]
