Overview
An acute phase response is present during attacks, with high C-reactive protein levels, an elevated white blood cell count and other markers of inflammation. In patients with a long history of attacks, monitoring the renal function is of importance in predicting chronic renal failure.[1]
Laboratory Findings
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with familial Mediterranean fever. However, this disorder is associated with an increase in acute phase reactant such as:[2]
Urinary sediment of patients with FMF may show hematuria.[3]
