Overview
The diagnosis of bursitis is usually made clinically. There are no diagnostic lab findings associated with bursitis. However, some patients with bursitis may have elevated ESR, CRP, and white blood cells.
Laboratory findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bursitis include:
- Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)
- Elevated uric acid
- antinuclear antibody (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), and anti citric citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) may also be positive
