Arthritis Panel

 An Arthritis Panel is a series of blood tests used to diagnose and monitor arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of arthritis and related conditions. This panel typically measures levels of various substances in the blood, such as

• rheumatoid factor (RF), 
• anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) 
• antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and 
• C-reactive protein (CRP). 

These markers can indicate inflammation, autoimmune responses, and the presence of specific antibodies associated with arthritis. The results help healthcare providers determine the type of arthritis, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment decisions.
