Rheumatoid Profile II Blood Test in London

The Rheumatoid Profile II (SP29) is an advanced autoimmune and inflammatory disease screening blood test designed to investigate conditions affecting the joints, connective tissues, and immune system. Building on the Rheumatoid Profile I, this comprehensive profile includes specialised autoantibody testing to help identify autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, and other connective tissue diseases. Ideal for individuals experiencing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, fatigue, or suspected autoimmune conditions, this test provides valuable diagnostic insights. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 10 days.

Understanding Specialized Connective Tissue Markers

Building significantly on standard profiles, this comprehensive test includes the Extractable Nuclear Antigens (ENA) panel and dsDNA antibodies, which are critical for distinguishing between complex connective tissue diseases like Lupus or Sjögren’s. Furthermore, the inclusion of Complement proteins (C3 and C4) helps doctors gauge active immune system consumption during flare-ups, while cardiolipin antibodies assess potential blood clotting risks associated with these autoimmune conditions.

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.

Results Timeline: Due to the advanced nature of these assays, profile metrics are typically available within 10 days. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.

Most Searched Online Questions About Advanced Autoimmunity

What are ENA antibodies?
Extractable Nuclear Antigens (ENA) are a group of autoantibodies in the blood that react with proteins in the cell nucleus. They help doctors distinguish between specific connective tissue diseases.
What do Complement C3 and C4 tests measure?
Complement proteins are part of your immune system. Low levels can indicate that your immune system is highly active and consuming these proteins to drive autoimmune inflammation, such as in Lupus flare-ups.
Why test for Cardiolipin Antibodies?
Cardiolipin antibodies are often found in people with certain autoimmune conditions and can significantly increase the risk of developing abnormal blood clots in veins or arteries.
What is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)?
SLE is a complex autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs, joints, or skin.
Can this test diagnose Sjögren’s syndrome?
This profile includes SS-A (Ro) and SS-B (La) antibodies, which are primary markers used by doctors to support a diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome alongside physical symptoms.
