The Arthritis Profile is a comprehensive screening package that evaluates key biomarkers and indicators related to arthritis and joint health. This profile includes a range of tests designed to detect inflammatory markers, autoimmune antibodies, metabolic functions, and essential nutrient levels, offering a thorough assessment for individuals experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or other arthritis-related symptoms. Early detection and monitoring through this profile can assist in the effective management and treatment of arthritis and associated conditions.

Test Parameters Included:

• Complete Hemogram: Analyzes blood cells to check for signs of inflammation and anemia.
• Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, linked to cardiovascular health in arthritis patients.
• Anti-CCP (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies): Helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific autoantibodies.
• ANA (Antinuclear Antibodies): Screens for autoimmune disorders often associated with arthritis.
• Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO): Detects antibodies from streptococcal infections, which can contribute to rheumatoid conditions.
• C4 Complement: Measures immune system proteins involved in inflammatory responses.
• Phosphorus: Assesses phosphorus levels, important for bone health.
• Rheumatoid Factor (RH Factor): Detects antibodies often found in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
• Renal Function Tests: Assesses kidney function, which can be affected in certain autoimmune conditions.
• Diabetes Screening: Measures blood glucose levels, as metabolic disorders can impact joint health.
• Vitamin Levels: Assesses vitamin D and B12, crucial for bone and joint health.
• HLA-B27: Tests for genetic markers associated with autoimmune arthritis, such as ankylosing spondylitis.
• Cardiac Risk Markers: Evaluates cardiovascular risk, often higher in individuals with chronic inflammation.
• Thyroid Function Tests: Assesses thyroid health, as imbalances can exacerbate joint symptoms.
• Liver Function Tests: Checks liver health, which can be impacted by certain medications used to manage arthritis.
