Rheumatoid Panel: Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP Antibodies

Our Rheumatoid Panel is a specialized test designed to aid in the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease affecting the joints. The panel includes two essential tests:

1. Rheumatoid Factor (RF), Quantitative: Rheumatoid Factor is an autoantibody that targets the body’s own tissues, particularly the joints. A quantitative measurement of RF helps assess the severity and progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated levels of RF may indicate active disease and joint inflammation.

2. Anti CCP (Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Antibodies: Anti CCP antibodies are highly specific markers for rheumatoid arthritis. Their presence can help differentiate rheumatoid arthritis from other forms of arthritis. Anti CCP antibodies are particularly useful in the early stages of the disease when other diagnostic markers might not be as reliable.

Early detection and appropriate management of rheumatoid arthritis are crucial for preventing joint damage and improving the quality of life for individuals living with this condition. The Rheumatoid Panel provides valuable insights to healthcare providers, aiding in the timely diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
