Laboratory Findings
Blood
About 23% of patients have eosinophilia[1].
Urine
Urinary findings include:
- Eosinophiluria: sensitivity is 67% and specificity is 83% [2][3]. The sensitivity is higher in patients with interstitial nephritis induced by methicillin or when the Hansel's stain is used.
- Isosthenuria [4]
