Inflammatory & Joint Screen
Anyone with new joint pain, stiffness, or swelling, especially if persistent or affecting multiple joints.
- ANA (IF test) — Screens for a general autoimmune process
- Rheumatoid Factor — Associated with rheumatoid arthritis
- Anti-CCP — More specific marker for rheumatoid arthritis
- ESR, CRP — General inflammation markers
- Uric Acid — Screens for gout as an alternative cause
What normal doesn't rule out
a specific autoimmune diagnosis — a positive ANA or RF alone doesn't confirm a condition; results need clinical correlation with your symptoms and possibly the fuller F20-T2 panel.
Not included
- Extended autoimmune antibody panel (see F20-T2)
- Joint imaging (X-ray/MRI, if indicated via referral)
Not the right fit if
you have sudden severe joint swelling with fever — that needs urgent clinical evaluation (possible septic arthritis), not a screening test.
Preparation
