For diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, if the disease is found, it should be prompted**. The following are the test markers for rheumatoid arthritis. 1. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, that is, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, can be used as a reliable indicator to judge the degree of inflammatory activity, and its rise and fall is consistent with the degree of rheumatoid activity, and can also be used as an indicator for judging and diagnosing. Normal value: 10 mm for 1 h in children; Adult males 0 15 mm 1 h; Adult females 0 20 mm 1h. 2. Are erythrocyte sedimentation rate and rheumatoid factor an important basis for judging rheumatoid? Complete blood count: patients with rheumatoid arthritis may have anemia. Most white blood cells are normal and may increase slightly during activity. Anemia and thrombocytosis are associated with the activity of the disease. In most cases, erythrocyte sedimentation rate is usually increased in active disease, which may be an indicator of disease activity. Serum iron, iron, and protein levels are usually low. 3. Complement and immune complexes: The overall complement C3 and C4 levels in patients with inactive arthritis are normal or even slightly higher. However, for those patients with more extra-articular performance, full complement may occur, with decreased levels of C3 and C4. 4. X-ray examination: swelling of soft tissues around the affected joint can be seen in the early stage, and subluxation, deformity and rigidity of the joint can be seen in the late stage. 5. Are erythrocyte sedimentation rate and rheumatoid factor an important basis for judging rheumatoid? Rheumatoid factor: Rheumatoid factor is an anti-IgG immunoglobulin synthesized by synovial plasma cells and secreted into synovial fluid and blood. In addition, plasma cells of the spleen, lymph nodes, and rheumatoid subcutaneous nodules can be produced.
In terms of diagnosis, Guangzhou Oriental Rheumatoid Clinic has introduced advanced medical equipment at home and abroad, such as high-precision imaging diagnostic equipment, laboratory testing instruments, etc. The introduction of these devices has made the diagnosis of rheumatoid diseases more accurate and efficient in the outpatient department. Through advanced equipment testing, doctors can more accurately understand the patient's condition and provide strong support for follow-up**.
