    Default Good video on vasculitis and lungs by Mayo Dr Specks

    I found this video very informative regarding vasculitis and the lungs.
    He mentions that dipping your urine with Hemastix regularly can help us determine a flare because an attack on the kidneys will result in blood in the urine.
    These strips will only work if you don't normally leak blood in the urine.

    He also, says that the CT and xrays only see nodules and cannot tell if they are granulomas or blood clots except if they cavitate.

    He told me to use the urine dipsticks weekly since I have already had both substantial kidney damage and lung damage from Wegs.

    My Hemastix are just for testing for blood. I count on my monthly labs for everything else.
