Arthritis Panel is optimally designed to evaluate and support the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infectious arthritis, reactive arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus, and other arthritis-related diseases.

- Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes swelling, pain, stiffness in the joints, commonly affecting small joints such as fingers and wrists.
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease resulting from aging or injury, causing pain and limited mobility in larger joints such as the knees, hips, spine.
- Infectious arthritis: A condition caused by bacterial, viral, fungal infections, often affecting the knees, hips, elbows or ankles.
- Gout: A metabolic disorder involving uric acid imbalance, leading to pain and redness in smaller joints such as fingers and toes.

Blood and urine tests will be conducted to measure uric acid levels, rheumatoid factor (RF) and other key markers of arthritis. This panel also aims to monitor the severity of arthritis, assess treatment response and assist in predicting disease progression.

Middle-aged and the elderly, especially women
Symptoms: persistent joint pain, joint stiffness, redness and swelling of joints, joint deformities
Individuals diagnosed with arthritis need to monitor disease progression
Individuals with a family history of arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Individuals with a history of autoimmune diseases, bacterial or viral infections
Smokers, alcohol consumers, users of stimulants
Individuals who are overweight, obese, or have a sedentary lifestyle
Individuals engaged in occupations that involve frequent stress on joints

Uric Acid* [Serum]

Serum Uric Acid level test measures the amount of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product that's created when the body breaks down substances called purines, found in certain foods and drinks. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood, passes through the kidneys, and is excreted in urine. High levels of uric acid in the blood, known as hyperuricemia, can lead to gout, a form of arthritis that causes painful inflammation in the joints. It can also indicate kidney problems or the risk of developing kidney stones. This test is useful for diagnosing gout, monitoring kidney function, and assessing the risk of kidney stones.

Urine Sediment

Analyzing components in urine such as red blood cells, white blood cells, protein... helps detect abnormalities in the kidneys and urinary tract. Suggests kidney diseases, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, autoimmune diseases... that may be related to arthritis.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

Inflammation is your immune system's response to injury, infection, and certain cancers. It can also result from blood or immune system disorders. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that identifies inflammation in your body.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates several important components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. This test provides valuable information about the overall health of the body and can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, from anemia and infection to certain cancers. The CBC is often used as a part of a routine health checkup to assess an individual's general health status, as well as to monitor conditions and the effectiveness of treatments. Essentially, it’s a crucial snapshot that provides a look into the body’s health and how well its blood components are functioning.

Rheumatoid Factor (RF)

Rheumatoid factors are proteins that sometimes mistakenly attack healthy cells and tissues in your body. Not everyone has rheumatoid factors in their blood. If you have high levels of rheumatoid factors, you may have rheumatoid arthritis. This disease can damage your joints and cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. It is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that can affect your organs and cause other symptoms.

ANA (Nuclear Ab)

An ANA test is a blood test that looks for antinuclear antibodies, which attack healthy cells. It's normal to have a few antinuclear antibodies in your blood. But too many may indicate an autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Addison disease, or autoimmune hepatitis.

Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Ab

This test measures antibodies against streptolysin O, a substance group A streptococcus bacteria produces. A marked rise or a persistently elevated antibody count indicates that a streptococcus infection or post-streptococcal sequelae are present.

High-sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hs CRP)

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) test is a blood test that measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver, that increases in response to inflammation in the body. The "high sensitivity" aspect of this test allows it to detect lower levels of CRP, making it particularly useful for assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with an increased risk for heart attacks and strokes, even when other risk factors may not be present. This test is often used in combination with other markers to evaluate an individual's overall risk for cardiovascular diseases. It serves as a helpful tool for proactive heart health management.

Cyclic citrullinated peptide Ab (CCP Ab)

Anti-CCP are autoantibodies your immune system produces. Autoantibodies can cause disease by attacking the body's healthy cells by mistake. Anti-CCP attacks healthy tissues in the joints, which can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. If CCP antibodies are present in your blood, it can be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. Anti-CCP and another test, called an RF test, are usually done to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is early testing for arthritis important?

Early detection of arthritis is crucial for accurately diagnosing the specific type of arthritis and its underlying cause. This facilitates the development of an effective treatment plan, promptly preventing joint damage and improving the likelihood of joint recovery. Additionally, early diagnosis allows for timely lifestyle adjustments to ensure long-term joint health.

2. Does Diag’s Arthritis Panel include X-ray, CT or MRI imaging?

No. The Arthritis Panel at Diag only performs blood and urine tests.

3. Can the test results help determine exactly which type of arthritis I have?

No, blood and urine test results can provide valuable information to support the diagnosis of different types of arthritis, but they may not always be sufficient to pinpoint the exact type. This is because many forms of arthritis share similar symptoms and manifestations, requiring additional imaging tests or clinical examinations to accurately identify the specific type of arthritis.

4. Why should I choose the Arthritis Advanced Panel including ANA and Anti-CCP tests?

The Anti-CCP test is highly specific and valuable for predicting rheumatoid arthritis, while the ANA test helps detect autoimmune diseases other than rheumatoid arthritis, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Sjögren's syndrome. Combining these two tests is particularly useful in distinguishing rheumatoid arthritis from other autoimmune diseases that may also cause arthritis.

If the ANA test result is positive but the Anti-CCP test is negative, you might have systemic lupus erythematosus or Sjögren's syndrome rather than rheumatoid arthritis. If both Anti-CCP and ANA test results are positive, you may have rheumatoid arthritis and should be further evaluated for concurrent autoimmune conditions to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

5. What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?

Common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:
- Joint swelling and pain that is symmetrical and widespread (often affecting fingers, hands, wrists, knees, ankles, feet).
- Persistent joint pain throughout the day, typically worsening at night.
- Morning stiffness in the joints.

6. What should I do if my test results are normal but I still experience joint pain?

You should consult a rheumatologist or an orthopedic specialist for an accurate diagnosis. Joint pain may not always be caused by arthritis; it could result from conditions such as osteoarthritis or joint injuries.

7. What are the complications of arthritis?

Complications vary depending on the type of arthritis:
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Joint deformity, rheumatoid nodules near joints, Sjögren's syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pericarditis, vasculitis.
- Gout: Joint deformity, septic arthritis, sepsis, kidney stones, kidney failure.
- Septic arthritis: Joint deformity, osteoarthritis, joint ankylosis, joint stiffness, sepsis.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): Chronic arthritis, atherosclerosis, kidney failure.

8. How can arthritis be prevented?

You can reduce the risk of arthritis through healthy habits, such as:
- Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and mackerel.
- Exercise regularly to improve and strengthen joint health.
- Maintain a healthy weight to avoid being overweight or obese.
- Minimize bone and joint injuries that may impact joint health.

9. How long does it take to get arthritis test results at Diag?
