Overview
Apart from the imaging studies already discussed previously, urinalysis, lumbar puncture, and angiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Findings suggestive of Kawasaki disease include leukocytosis and coronary artery aneurysms, respectively.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other tests (may or may not be performed)
- Echocardiogram may show subtle coronary artery changes or, later, true aneurysms.
- Ultrasound or computerized tomography may show hydrops (enlargement) of the gallbladder
- Urinalysis may show white blood cells and protein in the urine (pyuria and proteinuria) without evidence of bacterial growth
- Lumbar puncture may show evidence of aseptic meningitis
- Angiography was historically used to detect coronary artery aneurysms and remains the gold standard for their detection, but is rarely used today unless coronary artery aneurysms have already been detected by echocardiography.
Recommendation for Assessment of Patients With Inducible Myocardial Ischemia
| Class I |
| "1. Patients with evidence of inducible myocardial ischemia on testing should undergo invasive coronary angiography.(Level of Evidence: B) " |
