This study aimed to identify the most common causes of hemoptysis and the
methods utilized for the diagnosis, to determine the relationship between the
etiological factors and the amount of hemoptysis, to establish the association
between exposures and hemoptysis, and to reveal other possible factors related to hemoptysis in patients admitted to our clinic due to hemoptysis between January 2005 and
December 2009. Thus, 385 cases were evaluated retrospectively. The most common
causes of hemoptysis in the whole study population were identified as
pneumonia, lung cancer and, pulmonary thromboembolism (33%, 14.8 and 14.0%,
respectively). A stepwise
approach including clinical and laboratory techniques, radiological methods,
fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and echocardiograpy enhances the diagnosis of hemoptysis.
