You can test for pretty much anything in a research setting.

In a clinical setting, doctors will rely a lot on heuristics and practical considerations, and there may not be any clinical testing available.

Even if there is a test, sometimes it is insanely expensive and so they won't give it if they can find any other way to decide.
