Curated panel
Common, checkable causes of joint pain include raised uric acid (gout), inflammatory arthritis and vitamin D deficiency. A sensible panel includes uric acid, inflammatory markers (CRP and ESR) and vitamin D, with rheumatoid markers added when inflammatory arthritis is suspected.
Results are interpreted with your symptoms — which joints, for how long, and any swelling or stiffness — by your doctor.
6 curated lab tests — your doctor decides which you actually need.
A uric acid test checks for gout. Raised uric acid with sudden, severe joint pain (often the big toe) suggests gout, confirmed by your doctor.
Inflammatory markers (CRP and ESR) and rheumatoid factor help assess inflammatory arthritis; vitamin D is added as deficiency can cause aches.
Yes — low vitamin D commonly causes bone and joint aches and muscle weakness, and is easily corrected once identified.
