Overview
Other diagnostic tests that can be used for diagnosis of complications include barium swallow for stricture diagnosis and biopsies of tissuses.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Barium swallow or esophagography
- Esophageal stricture
- Peptic strictures that appear as smooth, tapered narrowing in the distal esophagus
- Esophageal dilatation
Biopsy
- Renal biopsies:
- Determining the degree of renal involvement
- Delineating treatment decisions and prognosis in certain clinical scenarios
- Assess activity and damage (i.e., chronicity)
- Helping with classification
- Endomyocardial biopsy:
- May be helpful in guiding treatment towards the use of corticosteroids
