Identify the cause of joint pain with screening packages covering RA factor, anti-CCP, CRP, ESR, uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and other inflammation and bone health markers.
Joint pain is often attributed to aging or overuse, leading to delayed diagnosis of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis where early treatment within the first 6 months dramatically improves long-term outcomes. Blood tests differentiate between types, detect autoimmune activity, and identify nutritional deficiencies contributing to joint problems.
Based on the tests relevant to arthritis & joint health, we recommend these packages:
90-parameter blood test with arthritis, cardiac & kidney markers
Includes RA factor, CRP, ESR, uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and comprehensive metabolic panel for thorough arthritis workup.
118-parameter test with arthritis, cardiac, kidney damage & urine screening
An advanced panel covering inflammation markers, autoimmune indicators, bone health parameters, and organ function screening.
110-parameter non-fasting checkup with heavy metals, arthritis & cardiac screening
A convenient no-fasting option covering key arthritis markers including inflammatory indicators, uric acid, and vitamin D.
Arthritis encompasses over 100 different conditions affecting the joints. The most common types in India are osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune), and gout (uric acid deposits). Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial because treatment varies dramatically between types — what helps one type may worsen another.
Blood tests play a vital role in distinguishing between types of arthritis and monitoring disease activity. Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), autoimmune markers (RA factor, anti-CCP), uric acid levels, and nutritional markers (vitamin D, calcium) provide a comprehensive picture that guides treatment decisions and tracks response to therapy.
You can also book these tests individually if you need specific markers only.
Key tests include RA factor, anti-CCP antibodies, CRP, ESR, uric acid, ANA, vitamin D, and calcium. The specific combination depends on the suspected type of arthritis.
Yes. Autoimmune markers like anti-CCP can be positive years before symptoms appear. Early detection of rheumatoid arthritis allows aggressive treatment that can prevent joint damage.
Yes. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in India and causes widespread bone and joint pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue that can mimic or worsen arthritis symptoms.
