Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis include, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, hypereosinophilia, and elevated immunoglobulin E titers (IgE).
Laboratory Findings
Diagnostic markers include eosinophil granulocytes and granulomas in affected tissue and Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) against neutrophil granulocytes.
The findings on other laboratory studies is nonspecific. Eosinophilia (5K-9K/uL) may be present. Anemia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), leukocytosis, elevated immunoglobin E (IgE), hypergammaglobulinemia, and a low-positive rheumatoid factor (RF
