The diagnosis and classification of vasculitic syndromes in general requires a correlation of clinical histologic and serologic data. Classifications based solely on clinical or histologic features have proven unsatisfactory. WG is no exception, and proper diagnosis and management of patients with WG requires careful correlation of all available clinical, radiographic, serologic, and histologic data by experienced individuals. Active discourse between the clinician and pathologist frequently helps in the decision as to how to proceed in an individual case and whether or not further diagnostic tests are necessary.
一般来说，血管炎综合征的诊断和分类需要临床、组织学和血清学数据相互关联。单纯基于临床或组织学特征的分类已被证明并不令人满意。韦格纳肉芽肿（WG）也不例外，对WG患者进行正确的诊断和管理需要有经验的人员仔细整合所有可用的临床、影像学、血清学和组织学数据。临床医生和病理学家之间的积极交流常常有助于决定如何处理个别病例以及是否需要进一步的诊断测试。
