Dr. Thomas Namey answered

Specializes in Rheumatology

Many things!: Visible inflammation, synovitis or dactylitis; an elevated crp; a positive family history; genetic testing for the appropriate hla types. Do you have sacroilac or lumbar spine pain; have you had iritis or uveitis? Then put it all together.
