RA test Rheumatoid Arthritis, Synovial fluid

The RA test for Rheumatoid Arthritis analyzes synovial fluid to detect inflammation and autoimmune activity within the joints. This diagnostic test helps in identifying rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, crucial markers for Rheumatoid Arthritis. By evaluating the presence and levels of these antibodies, the test aids in diagnosing RA, monitoring disease progression, and guiding treatment decisions, ensuring optimal patient care and management.
