Diagnostic Procedures:

• Blood chemistry tests and cell counts.
• Analysis of urine, both chemistry and microscopic.
• Imaging tests such as x-ray, MRI, and CT scan, which show lung infiltrates or nodules typical of granulomatosis or vascular tissue damage.
• A CT virtual bronchoscopy can help identify stenosis and larynx problems.
• Digital subtraction angiograpy (DSA) may be useful in identifying stenosis or other abnormalities caused by vasculitis.
• Biopsy of the suspected granuloma and/or blood vessels or other affected tissues.
• Biopsies may be required of tissues where there is persistent inflammation problems in one or more of the following organs, as listed below starting with the most frequent:
Sinus, nose, ear, throat, lung, joints, fever, kidney, trachea, eye, skin, peripheral nerves, inflammation of the heart lining, central nervous system, and very rarely heart, pancreas, spleen, prostate, liver, testicles
