The 7 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Rheumatoid Factor (RF)

    A blood test for rheumatoid factor, an antibody often found in rheumatoid arthritis but also in other conditions and in some healthy people.

    Adults
    0–14 IU/mL

  • Anti-CCP (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Antibody

    Measures antibodies against citrullinated proteins. A positive result is closely linked to rheumatoid arthritis and can appear years before joint symptoms.

    Adults
    0–19.9 U/mL

  • Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) Screen

    A first-step blood test that looks for antibodies to the cell nucleus. A positive result is common and does not by itself mean you have an autoimmune disease.

  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    A simple blood test that shows how fast red blood cells settle in a tube. A faster rate can be a sign of inflammation somewhere in the body.

    Men, 18–49
    0–15 mm/hr
    Men, 50+
    0–20 mm/hr
    Women, 18–49
    0–20 mm/hr
    Women, 50+
    0–30 mm/hr

  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP, incl. hs-CRP)

    A protein your liver makes when the body has inflammation. Standard CRP helps check for infection or injury, and hs-CRP is used in heart-risk checks.

    Adults
    0–5 mg/L

  • Uric Acid

    Uric acid is a waste product from breaking down purines. High levels can lead to gout or kidney stones in some people.

    Men, 18+
    3.8–8.4 mg/dL
    Women, 18–50
    2.6–6.2 mg/dL
    Women, 51–70
    3–7.2 mg/dL
    Women, 71+
    3.1–7.9 mg/dL

  • HLA-B27

    A one-time test for HLA-B27, a protein on white blood cells. Many people who have it stay healthy, but it is more common in some kinds of inflammatory arthritis and eye inflammation.
