Diagnosing lupus is difficult because signs and symptoms are almost similar to signs and symptoms of any other ailments. Detection of lupus gets trickier because signs and symptoms of lupus vary considerably from person to person. Signs and symptoms of lupus may vary over time and can take time for the symptoms to actually show up. No one test can help to diagnose lupus. The combination of blood and urine tests, signs and symptoms, and physical examination findings leads to the diagnosis. Today, we help you fight this problem more effectively, by providing the list of must-have tests to control lupus and live a healthy life. Remember, that self-diagnosis is not the best policy for healthcare, and you must consult a professional medical expert before opting to take any of these tests. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
