Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Biopsy of lesions can definitely establish the diagnosis of cholesterol emboli syndrome.[1][2]
- On biposy from skin, muscle, kidney or gastrointestinal tract, [[cholesterol emboli syndrome] is characterized by cholesterol crystals.[3][4]
- Biopsy of affected organs shows characteristic changes in about half to 75% the clinically diagnosed cases.
- Biopsy of skin lesions is often revealing in patients with cutaneous involvement.
- Transverse sections of affected arterioles, show occlusion of the lumen by biconvex needle-shaped cholesterol crystals, which dissolve during histologic processing to leave clefts, surrounded by fibrin and platelet thrombi, sometimes in association with foreign-body giant cells and intimal thickening.
