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:

• Test Parameters Included – Arthritis Profile Advanced:

  • Complete Hemogram (CBC – 28 tests): Analyzes blood cells to check for signs of inflammation and anemia.

  • Lipid Profile (10 tests): Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, linked to cardiovascular health in arthritis patients.

    • Includes: Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, LDL/HDL Ratio, Non-HDL Cholesterol, TC/HDL Ratio, Triglycerides, VLDL, HDL/LDL Ratio, TRIG/HDL Ratio.

  • Diabetes Profile (2 tests): Measures blood glucose levels, as metabolic disorders can impact joint health.

    • Includes: HbA1c, Average Blood Glucose (ABG)

  • Arthritis Profile (6 tests):

    • 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 rheumatic conditions.

    • C4 Complement: Measures immune system proteins involved in inflammatory responses.

    • Phosphorus: Assesses phosphorus levels, important for bone health.

    • Rheumatoid Factor (RF): Detects antibodies often found in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

  • HLA-B27: Tests for genetic markers associated with autoimmune arthritis, such as ankylosing spondylitis.

  • Kidney Function Tests (7 tests): Assesses kidney health, which can be affected in autoimmune conditions.

    • Includes: BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Calcium, Serum Creatinine, Uric Acid, Urea (Calculated), Urea/Creatinine Ratio

  • Liver Function Tests: Checks liver health, which may be impacted by medications used to treat arthritis.

    • Includes: Alkaline Phosphatase

  • Vitamin Profile (2 tests): Assesses vitamin D and B12, crucial for bone and joint health.

    • Includes: 25-OH Vitamin D (Total), Vitamin B12

  • Cardiac Risk Markers: Evaluates cardiovascular risk, often higher in individuals with chronic inflammation.

    • Includes: High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)

  • Thyroid Function Test: Assesses thyroid health, as imbalances can exacerbate joint symptoms.

    • Includes: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

  • FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar): Helps assess baseline glucose levels for metabolic evaluation.

Sample Type: Blood
Preparation: No fasting required.
