Description
Number of Tests Included:
The common Arthritis Profile includes:
RA Factor (Rheumatoid Factor)
Anti-CCP (Anti–Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide)
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
Uric Acid
ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) (included in some panels)
What is an Arthritis Profile Test?
A collection of blood tests that evaluate inflammation, autoimmune activity, and metabolic factors to determine the cause of arthritis-like symptoms.
Purpose of the Test:
Diagnose rheumatoid arthritis
Detect autoimmune arthritis (SLE, Sjögren’s, mixed connective tissue disease)
Identify gout or high uric acid
Evaluate general inflammation
Monitor arthritis treatment response
Who Should Get This Test?
People with chronic joint pain
Individuals with morning stiffness
Patients with swollen, warm, or tender joints
Those with suspected autoimmune disorders
Individuals with repeated gout attacks
Components of the Test:
Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
Anti-CCP – highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis
CRP – measures active inflammation
ESR – checks long-term inflammation
Uric Acid – evaluates gout risk
ANA – screens for autoimmune diseases
Understanding the Test Report:
High RF / Anti-CCP: Suggests rheumatoid arthritis
High CRP / ESR: Indicates inflammation or active disease
High Uric Acid: Suggests gout
Positive ANA: Indicates autoimmune disease (like lupus)
Preparation and Procedure:
Routine blood sample
No special preparation required
How is the Test Done?
Blood is analyzed through immunology and biochemistry methods to measure autoimmune markers and inflammation levels.
Best Time for Test:
Anytime, especially when symptoms are active.
