GANGRENE: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

Routine orders include a CBC, sedimentation rate, chemistry panel, VDRL test, serum protein electrophoresis, ANA titer, and glucose tolerance test. The gangrenous area should be cultured. Plain x-rays of the area sometimes are helpful. If there are diminished pulses, especially if the onset is acute, angiography will be useful. A muscle biopsy or skin biopsy will be useful in diagnosing collagen diseases. The Sia water test and serum immunoelectrophoresis will be useful in diagnosing macroglobulinemia and cryoglobulinemia.
