RF
RF is the earliest and most common test index used in clinical practice. The test results are fast, stable, reliable, cheap, and the most widely used.
ACPAS
Anti-MCV antibody
Anti-CCP antibody
Anti-APF antibody
Anti-AKA antibody
Anti-AFA antibody
Anti-ACF antibody
ACPAS is a large class of autoantibodies that have similar chemical structures and directly fight against epitopes of citrulline. They are highly specific for the diagnosis of RA.
GPI
GPI antigen level may become an independent new indicator for diagnosing RA patients and combined inspection with other indicators can effectively reduce missed diagnosis.
Anti-P68 antibody
Combined detection with other indicators can effectively reduce missed diagnosis and has important value for the patient’s disease activity, bone erosion degree, and prognosis judgment.
Anti-RA33 antibody
Positives also have early diagnostic value and predictive value, and joint detection can significantly improve diagnostic efficiency and reduce missed diagnosis.
ANA
The general term for a large class of autoantibodies that extends from the original antinuclear antigen to all antigen components in the cell is an effective method for detecting various autoimmune diseases.
