The group of tests that you are undergoing is to help us understand why you are experiencing swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. We have divided the tests into two categories to help us better understand the causes of the inflammation
The first group of tests includes the Complete Blood Count (CBC), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Liver Function Tests (LFTs), Immunoglobulin E (IgE), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). These tests will help us determine whether the swelling is due to an infection, an autoimmune disorder, or a hormonal imbalance
The second group of tests includes the Urinalysis, Anti-nuclear Antibody (ANA), Rheumatoid Factor (RF), and Allergy Testing. These tests will help us determine whether the swelling is the result of an allergic reaction or an underlying medical condition such as rheumatoid arthritis
By examining the results of these tests, we can better understand the cause of your facial, lip, or tongue swelling and provide you with the appropriate treatment.
