Laboratory Findings

• The labs may vary depending upon the location of the symptoms, as well as the organs involved.
• Some of which may include:

  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Calcium
  • Glucose
  • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine
  • C-reactive protein (CRP if inflammatory disease is suspected)
  • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR again, if inflammatory disease is suspected)
  • Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK for myopathies)
