How is the condition diagnosed?

The doctor's role is to help make sure there is not a serious medical condition causing the body odor. Diagnosis starts with a medical history and physical exam. This may be all that is needed in some cases. In other cases, further testing may be needed.

The tests ordered depend on the suspected cause. The doctor may order:

blood tests

liver function tests

chest X-rays

CT scans

Other tests may be needed in some cases.
