Overview
Urinalysis, lumbar puncture, biomarkers evaluation, 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 diagnostic tests include:[1]
- Urinalysis
- May demonstrate white blood cells and protein in the urine (sterile pyuria and proteinuria, respectively) without evidence of bacterial growth
- Lumbar puncture
- May demonstrate evidence of aseptic meningitis
- Angiography
- May be 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.
- Biomarkers
- Soluble LR11 may provide evidence vascular lesions in Kawasaki disease.
