Overview
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory abnormalities in patients with TAK are nonspecific and generally reflect an inflammatory process.[1]
- Acute phase reactants such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) may be elevated.
- Normochromic normocytic anemia suggestive of the anemia of chronic disease
- as well as a leukocytosis and/or thrombocytosis.
