Quick answer

Arthritis testing is a group of blood tests used when a person has joint pain, stiffness, or swelling. It looks for markers of inflammation and for antibodies associated with autoimmune forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis. No single marker confirms a diagnosis, so results are combined with the physical examination and imaging. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the findings.

What this test measures

Arthritis is not a single condition. Osteoarthritis involves wear on the joints, while inflammatory and autoimmune forms such as rheumatoid arthritis involve the immune system attacking joint tissue. Blood testing is more helpful for the inflammatory and autoimmune types, which is why the pattern of symptoms and the results are reviewed together.

Common markers include rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein. Anti-CCP tends to be more specific for rheumatoid arthritis than rheumatoid factor, while sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein reflect inflammation more broadly. A clinician chooses which tests to order based on the presentation.

A negative result does not rule out arthritis, and a positive result does not confirm it. Some markers can be present in other conditions or in healthy people. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the panel with the history, examination, and imaging to reach a clinical conclusion.
