Overview

There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].

OR

[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other Diagnostic Studies

Renal biopsy is routinely not done to diagnose post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Following are the indications:

• Persistent proteinuria more than 6 months
• Persistent microscopic hematuria more than 18 months
• Decreasing GFR after 4 weeks
• Persistent hypocomplementemia after 6 weeks
• Severe disease
• Progresses to dialysis to confirm the diagnosis of PSGN
