Overview

Urinalysis, lumbar puncture, biomarkers evaluation, and angiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic tests include:[1]

  • Urinalysis
    • May demonstrate white blood cells and protein in the urine (sterile pyuria and proteinuria, respectively) without any evidence of bacterial growth.
  • Lumbar puncture
  • Angiography
    • May be used to detect coronary artery aneurysms and remains the gold standard for their detection, but is rarely used today unless coronary artery aneurysms have already been detected by echocardiography.
  • Biomarkers
    • Soluble LR11 may provide evidence of vascular lesions in Kawasaki disease.
