Comprehensive Rheumatology Screening

Comprehensive Rheumatology Screening

If you're experiencing persistent joint pain, muscle aches, or autoimmune-related symptoms, the Comprehensive Rheumatology Screening offers an advanced evaluation of your immune and musculoskeletal health. This test expands on core rheumatology markers with additional autoantibodies to help detect complex autoimmune conditions such as lupus and autoimmune hepatitis, offering a more complete picture of systemic inflammation.

Why Choose a Comprehensive Rheumatology Check?

Some autoimmune and inflammatory disorders affect more than just the joints, involving muscles, connective tissue, and internal organs. This expanded panel includes ANA and smooth muscle antibodies, which can reveal hidden patterns of immune dysfunction. It's ideal for those with widespread symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or when a more detailed investigation is clinically needed.

FAQs

What does ANA (Anti-Nuclear Antibody) detect?

ANA testing screens for antibodies that attack the nucleus of your cells and is commonly used to detect autoimmune conditions like lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, or mixed connective tissue diseases.

What are Smooth Muscle Antibodies (SMA) and why are they tested?

SMA are typically associated with autoimmune hepatitis but can also appear in other autoimmune disorders. Their presence may help explain symptoms like fatigue, muscle pain, or abnormal liver function.

Is this test only for diagnosing arthritis?

No. While it includes markers for inflammatory arthritis, it also helps detect other systemic autoimmune diseases that can present with broader symptoms beyond the joints.

Do I need symptoms to take this test?

Not necessarily. This panel is also suitable for people with a strong family history of autoimmune disease or those looking to rule out underlying immune dysfunction due to vague, chronic symptoms.

How is this different from the Core Rheumatology Assessment?

The comprehensive panel includes all the markers found in the Core Rheumatology Assessment but adds ANA and smooth muscle antibodies for a more complete view of systemic autoimmune activity.
