The Arthritis Profile Test is a diagnostic test that assesses your joint health and helps identify different types of arthritis.
It is a comprehensive panel of blood tests that analyzes various markers related to inflammation, autoimmune responses, and joint function.
Following u will find 6 commonly used tests that help help doctors diagnose rheumatoid arthritis….these have been individually detailed in separate videos
1. Rheumatoid factor test
An RF test measures the level of RF proteins in your bloodstream.
High levels of rheumatoid factors often point to rheumatoid arthritis
2. CCP antibodies test
The test looks for the presence of CCP antibodies to help confirm rheumatoid arthritis.
Between 60 and 80 percent of people with rheumatoid arthritis have CCP antibodies in their blood
3. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test
ANA testing looks for the presence of ANAs and can help confirm a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
4. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test
An ESR) test evaluates how much inflammation is present in your body.
Low ESR levels indicate low levels of inflammation while high ESR results indicate high levels of inflammation….so high level is indicative of rheumatoid arthritis but the test is not diagnostic….
5.. C-reactive protein (CRP) test
A CRP test measures CRP and indicates the presence of inflammation.
RA, can result in high levels of CRP in your bloodstream.
Similar to an ESR test, a CRP test can’t confirm RA on its own.
