Diagnosis & Tests

How is the condition diagnosed?

Diagnosis begins with a medical history and physical exam. Diagnostic tests may include:

  • blood tests, such as a complete blood count, or CBC, and liver function tests
  • chest x-ray
  • lung scan
  • liver scan
  • lung biopsy
  • pulmonary function tests
  • sputum culture
  • culture of stool sample
  • The diagnosis is often made by ruling out other causes of bleeding into the lungs.
