The diagnosis of HSP is a result of several factors, including the presence of typical symptoms, a physical examination demonstrating findings such as skin lesions and arthritis, laboratory tests such as urinalysis that shows microscopic blood in the urine and stool that shows microscopic blood.
There are two tests for elevated C-reactive protein. One can show a non-specific elevation of CRP that occurs with general inflammatory changes in the body; the other test is hs-CRP-highly sensitive CRP-which is a measure of inflammation in blood vessels.RP levels can be measured via a blood test. In evaluating cardiac risk, physicians look at a very narrow range of CRP levels, from zero to 3.0 and above. This requires a special test called high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which may be able to reveal inflammation at the micro-vascular level.
