Are biopsies for temporal arteritis always accurate or are there false positives or false negatives ?

does the sed rate and crp tests always elevated with temporal arteritis? Does TA ever effect 3rd nerve causing eyelid to shut.

Biopsies are accurate for TA, sed and CRP are elevated because TA is a disease effecting the immun system and CRP and sed are elevated as a response of the system.
