Frequently asked questions

It is for adults with persistent joint pain, stiffness or swelling, especially where more than one joint is involved or symptoms are worse in the morning. It measures inflammatory markers alongside uric acid, vitamin D and markers used when screening for autoimmune joint conditions.

It provides supporting evidence rather than a diagnosis. Inflammatory markers and autoimmune indicators help build a picture, but diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis or a similar condition requires clinical examination and often imaging. Your report will explain whether your results warrant a rheumatology referral.

Yes. Inflammatory markers such as CRP rise during any infection, including a cold or a dental infection. If you have been unwell in the past two weeks, it is better to wait until you have recovered so that a raised result is not misread.

It includes uric acid, the marker most associated with gout. Uric acid can be misleading during an acute attack, when levels sometimes fall, so timing matters and your report takes that into account.

Fasting is not required. Please avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours beforehand, as intense activity can temporarily raise inflammatory markers.
