Overview
Laboratory tests used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis include complete blood count with differentials, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP, renal function test, LFTs, and antibodies such as rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, and anti MCV.
Laboratory Findings
Following tests are used to make the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis:[1][2]
- Complete blood count with differentials
- Platelet count
- Acute phase reactant are used to measure disease progression:[3]
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- C-reactive protein: CRP gives an idea about the radiological progression and mean CRP correlates with articular index
- Renal function test - usually dearranged in complication of RA
- Liver function test - abnormal in complication of RA
- Antibodies
- Rheumatoid factor:
- Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP antibodies):[6][7]
- It has specificity of about 81-100%, with sensitivity of 39–94%
- Antibodies to citrullinated vimentin and mutated citrullinated vimentin (MCV):
- It has specificity of about 90.3–98%, with sensitivity of 69.5–82%
