Diagnostic study of choice

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for test that will reliably make the diagnosis of ACD. In some cases, specific testing such as rheumatologic assays or serological tests can give insight into the underlying chronic inflammatory process that leads to ACD. For example, a female patient with anemia and multisystem symptoms should undergo laboratory testing including anti-nuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, anti-dsDNA, anti-Ro, anti-La.[1] In experimental cases, interleukin (IL)-6 levels and hepcidin levels can be measured, but this is not commonly used in clinical practice. In theory, both IL-6 and hepcidin will be increased in patients with ACD.[1][2] Other laboratory tests that are helpful in the diagnosis, albeit nonspecific tests, include erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP).[3]
