Can familial mediterranean fever be detected easy?

Not really.: The diagnosis of this disorder is made with a combination of clinical analysis and testing. A history of typical attacks of fever and abdominal or joint pain in mediterranian groups like armenians or arabs is highly suggestive, with acutely high levels of c-reactive protein, wbc, and possibly evidence of renal failure. Genetic tests to detect mefv gene mutations and Metaraminol test can be done.
