How many different blood tests are there for rheumatoid arthritis?

Dx and activity: Screening tests for rheumatoid arthritis are acpa (anti-citrullinated protein antibodies) and rheumatoid factor. The activity of the disease may be monitored by ESR and CRP tests. Blood tests alone are not sufficient for the diagnosis, history and clinical examination are essential.

Two: The rheumatoid factor and the cyclic citrinullated peptide (ccp) tests are most helpful. There are other tests that, if abnormal, support the diagnosis of an inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis. These include the sedimentation rate and the c-reactive protein.
