Rheumatological markers
Rheumatological markers — accurate diagnosis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
Analyses:
C-reactive protein (CRP),
rheumatoid factor (RF),
antistreptolysin-O (ASO),
antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (Anti-CCP).
Uric acid.
These are used for the diagnosis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of the joints and connective tissue: rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism, systemic vasculitis...
Main rheumatological markers
The research complex includes:
Rheumatoid factor (RF) — a marker of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune processes.
Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (Anti-CCP) — a highly specific indicator of early arthritis.
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) — used for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis.
Antibodies to DNA (dsDNA) — specific for SLE.
C-reactive protein (CRP) — a general marker of inflammation and autoimmune process activity.
Antibodies to ENA antigens — allow differentiation of the type of systemic connective tissue disease.
ASO (antistreptolysin-O) — an indicator of post-streptococcal complications (rheumatism, glomerulonephritis).
When it is recommended to take tests for rheumatological markers:
- pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints;
- chronic fatigue, fever, rashes;
- suspicion of autoimmune diseases;
- monitoring treatment with a rheumatologist;
- unexplained inflammation of internal organs or muscles.
