Understanding Your Results

This panel should be interpreted by a clinician in the context of signs, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
📊

Strongly suggests systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

📊

Supports diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

📊

Indicates immune complex activation, often seen in active lupus.

📊

Suggests mixed connective tissue disease.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have persistent joint pain, morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, fatigue, or unexplained fever, consult a rheumatologist.

Limitations

  • ⚠A positive ANA is not diagnostic alone; results must be correlated clinically.
  • ⚠Seronegative RA may occur; additional tests like anti-CCP may be needed.
  • ⚠Complement levels may be normal in many autoimmune diseases.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at the needle site
  • ●Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • ●Infection (rare)

Interfering Factors

  • ●Immunosuppressive medications may suppress autoantibody levels.
  • ●Recent vaccination may cause transient elevation.
  • ●Hemolysis or lipemia can interfere with immunoturbidimetry.
  • ●Non-fasting samples may cause complement activation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rheumatoid Autoimmune Panel test?
It is a blood test that measures autoantibodies and complement proteins (ANA, Anti-dsDNA, Sm, U1RNP, RF, C3, C4) to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
Why do I need this test?
Your doctor may order this test if you have joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or systemic symptoms suggesting an autoimmune disorder. It helps in early diagnosis and differentiation of RA from other connective tissue diseases.
What does the panel include?
The panel includes ANA, Anti-dsDNA, Sm antibody, U1RNP antibody, Rheumatoid Factor, Complement C3, and Complement C4.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Overnight fasting is preferred but not mandatory. It helps to reduce lipemia and ensures optimal complement measurement.
How is the sample collected?
A trained phlebotomist collects 3 mL of blood from a vein in your arm using a serum separator tube. The process is quick and minimally painful.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs Rs 8000 at DNA Labs India, which includes free home sample collection.
How long does it take to get results?
Reports are delivered the same day, usually within 6 hours of sample collection.
Can this test diagnose RA alone?
No. This test is not diagnostic in isolation. A rheumatologist correlates the results with clinical symptoms, physical examination, and other investigations such as X-rays or anti-CCP.
Are there any side effects?
The test is low-risk. You may experience minor bruising or soreness at the puncture site, which resolves quickly.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in over 180 cities across India.
What is the difference between RF and anti-CCP?
RF is an autoantibody present in many autoimmune diseases, while anti-CCP is more specific to RA. Anti-CCP appears early and helps predict erosive disease.
When should I get this test done?
If you have persistent joint pain and morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes, unexplained fatigue, or a family history of autoimmune disease, discuss with your doctor about getting this panel done.
