Blood in Sputum :
Coughing of blood with mucus is called hemoptysis. Blood in sputum is seen due to various underlying causes, such as bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism, lung cancer, and heart failure. There are some diagnostic tests to identify the cause of blood in sputum, such as chest X-ray, bronchoscopy, CT scan, complete blood count, blood clotting test, sputum culture, urine analysis, and kidney function tests. Coughing of blood can be treated by bronchoscopy to remove any blood clots in the airways, angiography of the bronchial artery, and medications to stop bleeding. When there is severe hemoptysis, there is a need to stay in ICU and treatments such as intubation and extra oxygen through ventilation to be given. If it is due to cancer, then the cancerous growth is removed through surgery.
