Examinations to Support Asthma Diagnosis
Thu, 11 Jul 2024To establish an asthma diagnosis, the following examinations are required:
- Physical Examination by a Doctor This examination is useful to determine the presence of personal or family medical history, or contact with allergens. Additionally, it can assess the physical condition or breathing sounds produced.
- Complete Hematology Examination Useful for detecting the presence of inflammation in the body and identifying any chronic diseases that might affect the patient's condition.
- Total IgE Examination This examination is used to determine the presence of allergic factors that can trigger asthma symptoms in patients.
- Chest X-Ray (PA View) This examination is helpful to detect any inflammation caused by asthma or any secondary infection in the lungs.
- Spirometry Examination Used to assess lung function, where any airway obstruction indicating asthma can be observed.
Note: Understanding and undergoing these examinations is crucial for early detection and appropriate treatment of asthma. Maintain your lung health with regular check-ups!
