Arthritis Screening
The Arthritis Foundation says arthritis is, “an informal way of referring to more than 100 types of joint diseases that affect 53 million adults and 300,000 children in the U.S.” If your body becomes sore, stiff or tender, it may be a sign of arthritis. It’s important to work with a doctor to determine the exact cause of your side effects, this will also impact your treatment. As a first step, your doctor may want to run lab tests to screen you for certain forms of arthritis.
Common Arthritis Screening Lab Test
The Arthritis Foundation says the following blood tests may be recommended if you and your doctor suspect you’re suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, Lyme disease or other inflammatory forms of arthritis:
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
- Rheumatoid factor (RF)
- Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP)
- Uric acid
- HLA tissue typing
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- C-reactive protein
- Lyme serology
Not all forms of arthritis will be picked up with a blood test, but many will. Arthritis screening can involve several lab tests, many that we do at Test Smartly Labs.
Our lab is clean, easy-to-find and much more affordable than hospital labs. We’ll make sure your blood is drawn quickly and efficiently by one of our trained lab professionals and that the results get where they need to go.
