Diagnosis is the process of distinguishing a disease or disorder from other potential conditions and determining its nature. The word "knowledge" comes from the Greek word "gnosis." The method by which medical professionals determine which disease is the most likely cause of a person's symptoms is known as the diagnostic process. The most challenging time to make an accurate diagnosis is during the early stages of a disease, when symptoms are typically more hazy and undifferentiable than as the disease progresses. The timing and sequence of the symptoms, previous medical history and risk factors for certain diseases, and recent exposure to disease all influence the accuracy of the conclusion. The doctor, in making a conclusion, likewise depends on different hints like actual signs, nonverbal transmissions of trouble, and the consequences of chosen research center and radiological and other imaging tests. A list of possible diagnoses, known as the differential diagnosis, can be compiled from the numerous facts gathered.
