The Arthritis Panel is a blood test that includes five key markers used to evaluate inflammation, immune activity, and metabolic factors that may contribute to joint pain and arthritis-related conditions. This panel helps assess both inflammatory and autoimmune causes of joint symptoms.
It is commonly ordered when symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, or reduced mobility are present. Results can help support evaluation of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, autoimmune arthritis, and other inflammatory joint disorders.
The panel includes 5 tests:
Rheumatoid Factor (RF): An antibody often elevated in rheumatoid arthritis
C-Reactive Protein (CRP): A marker of active inflammation in the body
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): Measures overall inflammatory activity
Uric Acid: Elevated levels may be associated with gout and crystal-induced arthritis
ANA Screen: Screens for autoimmune activity that may contribute to joint symptoms
