Rheumatoid Factor IgA

Many autoimmune disorders initially present with ill-defined symptoms, including unexplained fatigue. The Autoimmune & Fatigue Screen measures important markers for several autoimmune disorders, including connective tissue disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid diseases. An anti-inflammatory diet is included with positive results.

The Unexplained Fatigue Panel includes a series of tests designed to identify potential underlying causes of chronic fatigue. It evaluates autoimmune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and other conditions that may contribute to persistent fatigue, helping to pinpoint the source of the symptoms for appropriate treatment.

ANAlyzeR™ ANA, IFA with Reflex Titer/Pattern, Systemic Autoimmune Panel 1 - This panel can be helpful in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic disorders and other autoimmune diseases. Although the test for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is strongly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the laboratory evaluation for individuals with clinical suspicion of a variety of autoimmune diseases often begins with an ANA screen. This panel simultaneously tests for ANA (using immunofluorescence) as well as the important specific autoantibodies associated with a positive ANA. It also includes testing for complement proteins, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, polymyositis, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, and autoimmune thyroid disease.

Rheumatoid Factor (IgA) - In conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) can be used to aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
