Rheumatoid Profile
The Rheumatoid Profile is a comprehensive test designed to evaluate and diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions that affect joints and connective tissues. This test assesses key markers, including inflammatory indicators, autoimmune antibodies, and complement levels, which help in diagnosing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, and other connective tissue disorders. It is ideal for individuals experiencing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or other symptoms of autoimmune disorders.
Rheumatoid Profile
- Code: MLRHM
Included Tests
Measures red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets to detect inflammation or anemia, which are common in autoimmune conditions.
A non-specific marker of inflammation. Elevated ESR levels may indicate inflammatory processes in the body, such as those seen in rheumatoid arthritis.
ANA is used to detect autoimmune disorders like lupus. The presence of these antibodies may suggest that the immune system is attacking the body’s tissues.
A key marker for inflammation. Elevated CRP levels can indicate active inflammation or infection, often used to assess the severity of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
A common marker for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated rheumatoid factor levels may indicate the presence of this autoimmune disease.
High levels of uric acid may be associated with gout, another type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints.
A specific marker for lupus. Elevated levels can help confirm a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
This test detects a range of antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, and systemic sclerosis.
Found in some lupus patients, anti-Sm antibodies are a specific marker for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus.
These antibodies are commonly present in Sjögren’s syndrome and lupus. They help diagnose autoimmune conditions affecting moisture-producing glands.
These antibodies are associated with myositis and interstitial lung disease, particularly polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Found in patients with mixed connective tissue disease and lupus, this antibody helps distinguish between different autoimmune disorders.
These antibodies are used to diagnose systemic sclerosis and differentiate between its various forms.
Elevated histone antibodies are commonly associated with drug-induced lupus but can also be found in other autoimmune diseases.
Complement proteins help the immune system fight infections. Low levels may indicate immune complex diseases, like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
These antibodies are related to antiphospholipid syndrome, which can cause blood clots and is often associated with lupus.
