Understanding Your Results
Calcium
High range: Elevated levels may indicate hyperparathyroidism, malignancy, or other conditions
Low range: Low levels may suggest hypoparathyroidism or vitamin D deficiency
Uric acid
High range: High levels are associated with gout, kidney disease, or metabolic syndrome
Low range: Low levels are less common but may indicate liver disease
Rheumatoid Factor
High range: Elevated levels are often seen in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases
Low range: Negative results do not rule out rheumatoid arthritis entirely
Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy
High range: Elevated levels may cause toxicity with symptoms like nausea
Low range: Low levels indicate deficiency, linked to bone disorders like osteoporosis
Anti CCP
High range: Positive results are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis
Low range: Negative results may occur in early disease or other conditions
ANA (IF)
High range: Positive results may indicate autoimmune diseases like lupus
Low range: Negative results are generally expected in healthy individuals
Consult a doctor if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or if your test results are abnormal. Early consultation can lead to timely diagnosis and treatment.
