Arthritis Basic Screen Blood Test in Canacona
Specialized Diagnostic Panel for Joint Pain, Inflammatory Arthritis & Autoimmune Screening
Joint swelling, stiffness, chronic back ache, or sudden toe pain require clear diagnostic differentiation between degenerative wear-and-tear, metabolic crystal deposition (gout), streptococcal infection reactions, or autoimmune inflammatory arthritis.
The Arthritis Basic Screen at skininfinity Diagnostic Centre, Canacona, provides accurate blood biomarkers under MBBS doctor supervision to help guide proper medical management.
Understanding the Arthritis Diagnostic Panel
Rheumatoid Factor (RA Factor)
Why it matters: An autoantibody directed against the body’s own tissues. Helps diagnose or rule out Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease of joint linings.
Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO Titre)
Why it matters: Measures antibodies against group A streptococcal bacteria to detect post-streptococcal reactive arthritis or rheumatic fever in patients with joint aches.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Why it matters: A sensitive marker of systemic inflammation that measures the active intensity of joint inflammation and monitors treatment response.
Uric Acid
Why it matters: High levels of uric acid form painful needle-like crystals in joints, causing sudden acute pain typical of Gout.
Serum Calcium & Phosphorus
Why it matters: Evaluates bone metabolic health, screening for osteoporosis or osteomalacia which can mimic or worsen joint pain.
Serum Albumin
Why it matters: A key blood protein that reflects nutritional status and helps interpret free serum calcium and inflammatory activity.
ANA-ELISA (Antinuclear Antibodies)
Why it matters: Primary screening marker for underlying systemic autoimmune connective tissue diseases like Lupus (SLE).
