The Arthritis Profile – Advance is a comprehensive panel of tests aimed at assessing various factors related to arthritis, including autoimmune markers, inflammatory markers, nutritional factors, and bone health indicators. This advanced profile provides detailed information to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of arthritis and related conditions.
Our Arthritis Profile – Advance package offers individuals a comprehensive assessment of their arthritis status, providing valuable insights into autoimmune markers, inflammation levels, and bone health indicators. With state-of-the-art testing facilities and experienced rheumatology specialists, we ensure accurate and reliable results. This package is ideal for individuals seeking a thorough evaluation of their arthritis condition, enabling personalized treatment plans and effective management strategies.
1. ANA by IFA (Antinuclear Antibodies by Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay): Detects antinuclear antibodies, which are associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
2. Calcium: Essential for bone health and muscle function, as well as potentially relevant in certain arthritic conditions.
3. CBC (Complete Blood Count): Provides information on various blood cell types including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, useful in diagnosing and monitoring various types of arthritis.
4. CCP (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide): Measures antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides, useful in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis.
5. CRP (C-Reactive Protein): Measures levels of C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker that can be elevated in various forms of arthritis.
6. ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate): Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood, which can be elevated in inflammatory conditions like arthritis.
7. HLA B27 by Flow Cytometry: Detects the presence of the HLA-B27 antigen, which is associated with certain inflammatory arthritic conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis.
8. RA Factor (Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor): Measures levels of rheumatoid factor antibodies, which are often elevated in rheumatoid arthritis.
9. Uric Acid: Measures levels of uric acid in the blood, which can be elevated in gout, a type of arthritis caused by urate crystal deposits in the joints.
10. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Essential for nerve function and overall health, deficiency may contribute to symptoms that overlap with arthritis.
11. Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy Cholecalciferol): Important for bone health and potentially relevant in certain arthritic conditions, as deficiency may exacerbate symptoms.
The Arthritis Profile evaluates various markers associated with autoimmune and inflammatory arthritis conditions to aid in diagnosis and management.
ANA (Anti-Nuclear Antibody) is an indicator of autoimmune activity. Its presence may suggest autoimmune forms of arthritis like lupus.
CCP testing is specific to rheumatoid arthritis. Positive results indicate the presence of antibodies associated with this autoimmune condition.
CRP is a marker of inflammation. Elevated levels can indicate the presence and severity of inflammation in arthritis conditions, measured through a blood test.
ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation. Elevated ESR levels suggest the presence of inflammation in arthritis.
HLA B 27 is a genetic marker associated with several autoimmune conditions, including ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis.
