Extended Rheumatology Blood Test
A more in-depth joint and autoimmune blood test. Fast, accurate and no fasting required.
Service Description
Our Rheumatology Blood Test is designed to help detect signs of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions affecting the joints and connective tissues. This panel is particularly useful if you're experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness or fatigue. This test includes the markers from the Rheumatology Blood Test: - Anti-CCP (Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies) – Often used to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis. - Rheumatoid Factor (RF) – A key marker in identifying autoimmune joint inflammation. - Uric Acid – Helps assess the risk or presence of gout. - Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) – A general marker of inflammation in the body. As well as additional markers for a broader analysis: - Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA) – Commonly elevated in autoimmune diseases like lupus. - Smooth Muscle Antibodies (SMA) – Can help identify autoimmune liver conditions. Turnaround Time: Most results within three to four working days. PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to fast before your test. Make sure to come warm and well hydrated.
