3. What lab tests and imaging help diagnose MIS-C?
Diagnosis relies on blood tests and imaging. Obtain CBC, CRP, ESR, ferritin, D‑dimer, troponin, BNP, liver and kidney panels, and blood cultures. Perform SARS‑CoV‑2 PCR and serology. Echocardiogram evaluates ventricular function and coronary arteries. Chest X‑ray and abdominal ultrasound or CT help assess respiratory and gastrointestinal involvement.
