About this test

  • Joint pain, tenderness, or swelling (especially in hands, wrists, or feet)
  • Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes
  • Reduced joint flexibility or range of motion
  • Fatigue or persistent tiredness
  • Low-grade fever or general malaise
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Warm or red joints
  • Symmetrical joint symptoms (both sides of the body)
  • Muscle aches or general body discomfort
  • Nodules or lumps under the skin (rheumatoid nodules)
  • No symptoms at all in early or mild autoimmune inflammation





















Recommended for individuals experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or reduced mobility—especially in the hands, wrists, or feet. Ideal for those with a family history of autoimmune conditions, or early signs of rheumatoid arthritis. Also suitable for people with unexplained fatigue, joint discomfort, or morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes. A valuable test for anyone looking to take a proactive approach to diagnosing or monitoring inflammatory joint disease.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – early or established
  • Autoimmune joint inflammation
  • Seropositive arthritis (RF and/or Anti-CCP positive)
  • Seronegative arthritis (to help rule out or assess likelihood)
  • Chronic joint pain or swelling of unknown cause
  • Inflammatory polyarthritis
  • Systemic autoimmune conditions (e.g. lupus overlap)
  • Differentiation between rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
  • Progression risk in undiagnosed joint symptoms
  • Monitoring RA disease activity over time
