What are the items in lung examination

The lungs are an important organ in the human body. Our daily breathing is inseparable from the work of the lungs. Since it is an important organ in our human body, do we pay enough attention to the lungs in our daily lives? Do you know what the reaction will be when the lungs are uncomfortable? Usually, once we find that the lungs are uncomfortable, many people will go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. So what are the examination items for the lungs? Below I will introduce you to the items related to lung examination: Routine test items:

1. Pulmonary function test: for early detection of lung and airway lesions, identification of causes of dyspnea, diagnosis of lesion sites, assessment of disease severity and prognosis, and evaluation of the efficacy of drugs or other treatments;

2. Chest front view: pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, lung abscess, pleurisy, cardiomegaly, mediastinal tumor, thymus tumor and other chest diseases;

3. ESR test: accelerated ESR is seen in rheumatic fever, acute infectious diseases, active tuberculosis, pneumonia, sinusitis, cholecystitis, various anemias, leukemia, acute endocarditis, myocardial infarction and some malignant tumors, etc.;

4. Internal medicine examination: check whether there are any abnormalities in the heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, intestines, and nervous system;

High-end testing items:

1. Respiratory system gene testing: lung function in patients with heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleep apnea syndrome, and lung cancer;

2. Prediction of lung cancer risk: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that grows on the bronchial mucosa or alveoli. It is one of the major malignant tumors that seriously threatens human survival. By predicting the risk of disease through genetic testing and conducting targeted health management, we can achieve true early detection and early treatment;

3. Prediction of toxicity of thiopurine drugs: Thiopurine drugs are mainly used as an immunosuppressant and are widely used in clinical treatment of acute leukemia, tumors and some autoimmune diseases. The main side effect of thiopurine drugs is bone marrow inhibition, which causes a decrease in white blood cells and platelets in the blood, and the incidence rate can be as high as 40%; the incidence rate of liver damage is about 20%; the second is infection, especially lung infection; the above are the items about lung examination, you can learn about it.

Well, I will stop here to introduce the questions about "what are the items in the physical examination of lungs". I hope it will be helpful to you. If you want to do high-end testing projects, you can go to high-end physical examination institutions such as the People's Physical Examination Center.
