C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin are very easy to get, and should now be used with these patients to determine effectiveness of current therapy, hopefully very early, allowing quick changes to the therapy.
They still need to use imagining to get the size.

I have CRP and ESR(Sediment Rate) tests for inflammation almost monthly. They are very good predictors of inflammation. I have Giant Cell Arteritis and keeping inflammation down with prednisone is the only known treatment long term.
If anyone here suffers from GCA let me know what you do.
