An arthritis profile is a series of blood tests used to help diagnose and assess arthritis, focusing on inflammatory markers and autoimmune activity. It can help determine the type and severity of arthritis and guide treatment plans.
The arthritis profile helps doctors understand the underlying causes of arthritis, differentiate between different types (like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis), and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

The arthritis profile is typically a blood test, but may also include a urine sample.

Arthritic disorders affect majority of the population, varying in severity. Many of these disorders are self limiting conditions requiring minimal evaluation and symptomatic therapy. However several patients show persistent musculo-skeletal symptoms that requires laboratory testing to establish diagnosis and document the pathological process. Complement mediated immune complex deposition may also result in arthritic changes.
