A complete clinical workup of the patient was done. Laboratory investigations revealed serum bilirubin (1.1 mg/dl); direct (0.6 mg/dl); alkaline phosphatase 208 IU/L; ALT 64IU/L. [cancerjournal.net]
Intraparenchymal lymph nodes Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are often identified incidentally during imaging performed for the workup of other disorders since patients are usually asymptomatic. [pulmonologyadvisor.com]
The diagnosis of LV requires a full workup including a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. Due to its myriad forms, a high index of suspicion is the key to making the diagnosis. [oatext.com]
