Test Details:
The Rheumatoid Autoimmune Panel test is a blood test used to help diagnose and monitor rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints.
The panel typically includes several specific tests:
- Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test: This measures the presence and level of RF antibodies in the blood. RF is an antibody that targets the body’s own tissues, including the joints, and is found in about 70-80% of people with RA.
- Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP) test: This measures the presence and level of anti-CCP antibodies in the blood. Anti-CCP antibodies are highly specific to RA and can be detected even before symptoms appear.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test: This measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube over a specific time period. Elevated ESR levels can indicate inflammation in the body, including the joints.
- C-reactive protein (CRP) test: This measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels can also indicate inflammation in the body.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test provides information about the number and types of blood cells, which can help identify anemia or other abnormalities that may be associated with RA.
The results of the Rheumatoid Autoimmune Panel test, along with other clinical findings and symptoms, can help healthcare providers make an accurate diagnosis of RA and monitor the progression of the disease.
It is important to note that a positive result does not necessarily mean a person has RA, as these tests can also be positive in other autoimmune conditions or even in healthy individuals. A rheumatologist or other healthcare provider will interpret the results in the context of the individual’s clinical presentation.
