Muscle and Rheumatology Blood Test

About this test
A comprehensive musculoskeletal panel combining markers of muscle damage, systemic inflammation, autoimmune activity, and end-organ function relevant to rheumatological conditions. Autoimmune rheumatological disorders — including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, and polymyositis — frequently present with overlapping symptoms and require multiple serological tests for accurate diagnosis.
Note: Comprehensive rheumatological screen including muscle enzymes (CK, LDH), inflammatory markers, autoantibodies, urate, and organ function.
What this test can detect
- Rheumatoid arthritis — RF and anti-CCP antibodies, elevated ESR and CRP
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) — antinuclear antibodies with raised ESR
- Inflammatory myopathies — polymyositis and dermatomyositis causing elevated CK and LDH
- Crystal arthropathies — elevated urate in gout
- Secondary organ involvement — hepatic and renal function in connective tissue disease
Who should have this test?
- Individuals with polyarthritis, unexplained muscle weakness, or systemic symptoms suggesting autoimmune disease
- Those with a positive ANA on initial screening requiring expanded investigation
- Anyone with a first presentation of suspected inflammatory rheumatological condition
