Lung Disease Testing
Lung Disease Testing
At Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory and Andrology Centre, we provide laboratory tests that help support the evaluation of certain lung and respiratory conditions. These tests analyze blood or respiratory samples to assist clinicians in identifying infections, inflammation, and other factors that may affect respiratory health.
What Are Lung Diseases?
Lung diseases refer to a range of conditions that affect the lungs and respiratory system, which are responsible for breathing and oxygen exchange in the body. These conditions may develop due to infections, inflammation, environmental exposure, smoking, or underlying health conditions.
Laboratory testing provides valuable information that supports the clinical evaluation of respiratory health and helps guide further medical assessment.
When Should Lung Disease Testing Be Considered?
Laboratory testing may be recommended if a person experiences:
Persistent cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Chest discomfort
Fever associated with respiratory symptoms
Frequent or recurring respiratory infections
Testing may also be advised to monitor certain medical conditions affecting the lungs.
Common Laboratory Tests Related to Lung Health
-
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Helps detect signs of infection or inflammation that may be associated with respiratory illnesses.
-
C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Measures inflammation in the body and may be elevated during infections or inflammatory conditions.
-
Sputum Examination: Analyzes mucus samples from the respiratory tract to detect infection-causing organisms such as bacteria.
-
Respiratory Infection Screening Tests: Specific laboratory tests may be performed to identify respiratory infections depending on the patient’s symptoms and clinical evaluation.
Sample Required
Lung-related laboratory tests may require:
-
Blood samples for infection and inflammation markers
-
Sputum samples (mucus from the respiratory tract) for microbiological examination
The type of sample depends on the test recommended by the healthcare provider.
