OBJECTIVE: Hemoptysis is the act of spitting blood from the lungs or bronchi as a result of bleeding from the pulmonary or bronchial vascular system. It can be an important indication of many diseases. In some cases, if timely and effective treatment is not possible, it might. have fatal consequences. In our study, we aimed to evaluate our approach to cases followed up with the complaint of hemoptysis in our clinic for three years and to evaluate the etiology of these cases in the light of the literature.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Our study was planned as retrospective file scanning. Out of 3150 total patients who were hospitalized into the chest disease clinic of our hospital for various reasons during the last three years (January 2017- January 2020), 200 (6.34%) patients describing hemoptysis and having sufficient file information were included in the study.RESULTS: Lung cancer was found to be the most common etiological factor in 63 (31.5%) patients after the evaluation of the hemoptysis etiologies of them. 168 (84%) patients were diagnosed with other lung diseases (bronchiectasis, organized pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.) and 32 (16%) patients had normal PA chest x-ray results. The most common pathological finding detected through computed tomography (CT) was consolidation (infiltration) in 90 (%45) patients.CONCLUSIONS: The probability of reaching the correct diagnosis is above %90 in the literature as in our study when the correct procedures (anamnesis, clinical and radiological findings, and invasive advanced diagnostic techniques) were applied to the patients with hemoptysis complaints. Therefore, adding the use of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB) to the clinical and radiological findings will be more beneficial on diagnosis and the treatment of hemoptysis.
