Laboratory Findings
Blood
About 23% of patients have eosinophilia.
Urine
Urinary findings include:
- Eosinophiluria: sensitivity is 67% and specificity is 83% .[1]. The sensitivity is higher in patients with interstitial nephritis induced by methicillin or when the Hansel's stain is used.
- Isosthenuria [2]
