Appointment prep
Prepare for a GPA evaluation
Sinus, lung, and kidney involvement with systemic symptoms are often treated as separate infections or dismissed. Medvo helps you document the full vasculitis pattern and request rheumatology and ANCA testing — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Chronic sinusitis, nosebleeds, or saddle nose deformity
- · Cough, shortness of breath, or kidney problems (blood in urine)
- · Fatigue, joint pain, skin lesions, and nerve involvement
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · ANCA testing (c-ANCA/PR3), urinalysis, chest imaging
- · Referral to rheumatologist or vasculitis specialist
- · Biopsy of affected tissue (sinus, lung, kidney) if indicated
If you've been dismissed
- · Sinus and lung issues treated as recurrent infections for years
- · No ANCA or systemic workup despite multi-organ red flags
