I was recently miss diagnosed with vasculitis and would like to know how a real diagnosis is made. In the past I have had protein in my urine and a positive blood tests and pain in my ectopically fused kidney hence the reason the doctors were confused. I would be greatfull to anyone that can give me some insight on this illness. Thank you and take care

As a Vasculitis sufferer myself, I think that questions as to what type of Vasculitis you have are best answered by your health profesional who is giving you your treatment/care !!

Incidentally, I have Polyarteritis Nodosa
