About this test

The Arthritis Profile checks RA factor, ASO, CRP and ANA together. It helps find the cause of joint pain — whether it is rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation after a throat infection, or an autoimmune disease like lupus.

Why is this test done?

  • Find the cause of long-lasting joint pain
  • Screen for rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disease
  • Check inflammation level

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Joint pain and swelling
  • Morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes
  • Pain in small joints of hands and feet
  • Fever with joint pain
  • Skin rash with joint pain

Normal range

RA factor < 14 IU/mL
ASO < 200 IU/mL
CRP < 6 mg/L
ANA Negative

Reference ranges differ slightly between labs, methods, age and sex. Always discuss your report with your doctor.

If your result is high

Raised values point to the likely cause: RA for rheumatoid arthritis, ASO for recent strep infection (rheumatic fever), CRP for active inflammation, ANA for autoimmune disease.

Common reasons
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Lupus and other autoimmune diseases
