Laboratory Findings
Often, the diagnosis is made on the basis of the medical history and urine and blood tests—especially in young people in whom the risk of malignancy is negligible and the symptoms are generally self-limited.
- Urinalysis for all patients
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Calcium
- Uric acid
- Prothrombin time / Partial thromboplastin time (PT / PTT)
- Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) / creatinine
A more complete evaluation would include the following:
- C3 levels
- Red blood cells casts
- Cryoglobulins
- Presence of Hepatitis C antibodies
- Anti-glomerular basement membranes (GBM)
- Antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
- Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)
- Antistreptolysin O antibodies (ASO)
