Overview

There are no diagnostic laboratory tests for Takayasu's arteritis. Testing for acute phase reactants such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) may provide additional support for the presence of a systemic inflammatory process; Normochromic normocytic anemia suggestive of the anemia of chronic disease.

Laboratory Findings

 Laboratory abnormalities in patients with TAK are nonspecific and generally reflect an inflammatory process.[1]
