Experiencing symptoms like joint pain, stiffness,
or swelling, and suspecting arthritis? An Arthritis Panel is a group of tests
that assesses various markers in the blood, such as inflammatory markers and
antibodies, to help diagnose different types of arthritis, including rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoarthritis. Timely medical evaluation is crucial for an
accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, especially when these symptoms
persist or worsen. This panel aids in identifying the specific type of arthritis,
guiding treatment strategies, and improving joint health.

The Arthritis Panel includes tests for the following:

• Rheumatoid factor (RF)
• C-reactive protein (high sensitivity)
• Erythrocyte Sedimentaton Rate (ESR)
• Uric Acid
• Antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
