Title Thrombocytosis is a Useful Predictor of Giant Cell Arteritis
Creator Matthews, Tim; Abbot, Joe; Mehat, Manjit; Mollan, Susan
Subject Giant Cell Arteritis; Thrombocytosis; Temporal Arteritis; Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate; C-Reactive Protein
Description A raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are highly sensitive for a diagnosis of GCA. It has been reported that thrombocytosis is a more useful marker than an elevated ESR or CRP as measured by the positive predictive values (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV).
