Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of microscopic polyangiitis include determining disease extension and disease activity, evaluate renal, cardiac and pleural involvement.Ultrasound helps in detecting abnormalities that are pathognomonic in the arteries with a diameter below 1 mm in size.
