Frequently Asked Questions
Does a normal blood report rule out arthritis?
Not always. Some forms of arthritis are diagnosed mainly on clinical examination and imaging, so the specialist consultation is an important part of this check.
Can this check tell me which type of arthritis I have?
It provides key markers that help the specialist narrow down the likely type, though further tests may occasionally be needed depending on the findings.
