Diagnosing Vasculitis?

[gurs]

Ok, My rheumy looked at my elbows, and said possibly vasculitis...did the
ANCA antibody test and it came back negative. Is a biopsy the only way to tell?

thanks!

Hi gurs,

I'm sorry if you've already explained (it's been a long week today!), anyway...what symptom is on/in your elbow?  I'm curious as I've been having some issues with blood vessels of late too.

I'm sorry I can't answer about a skin biopsy, and I sure hope one of our members will be able to point you in the right direction.

Take care -
