About the arthritis & autoimmune test

When joint pain comes with morning stiffness lasting more than half an hour, affects both sides of the body, or comes with rashes and unexplained fatigue, doctors look for an autoimmune cause. RA factor and anti-CCP point towards rheumatoid arthritis, with anti-CCP being the more specific of the two. ANA is the broad screening test for autoimmune conditions including lupus. These are almost always ordered together with CRP and ESR, because the antibody tests say what the immune system is doing and the inflammatory markers say how active it is right now. Home collection is genuinely valuable here — patients with active arthritis often find travel and waiting painful.

What the ANA / RA Factor test measures

ANA — antinuclear antibody, with pattern and titre

RA factor (rheumatoid factor)

Anti-CCP — more specific for rheumatoid arthritis

CRP and ESR — current inflammatory activity

Uric acid, where gout is in the differential

Who usually needs a ANA / RA Factor test

Joint pain with morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes
Symmetrical swelling of small joints in hands or feet
Suspected rheumatoid arthritis
Unexplained rash with joint pain and fatigue
Suspected lupus or another connective tissue disease
Known autoimmune disease under rheumatology follow-up
Persistent unexplained inflammation on other tests

Preparation: no fasting needed

No fasting needed. The sample can be collected at any time of day.

How we collect your ANA / RA Factor sample at home

Your sample is drawn by a registered nurse or trained phlebotomist — not a courier — which is why we can safely handle elderly, bedridden, difficult-vein, paediatric and post-surgical patients that most collection services struggle with.

ANA / RA Factor normal range — indicative values

What a typical adult reference range looks like for this test.

Indicative adult reference ranges for the Arthritis & Autoimmune Test
Parameter	Indicative adult range
ANA	Negative / Positive, reported with titre and pattern
RA factor	Below 14 IU/mL typically considered negative
Anti-CCP	Below 20 U/mL typically considered negative
CRP	Below 6 mg/L

Indicative adult reference ranges only. Every laboratory publishes its own reference interval, and values shift with age, sex, pregnancy and medication. These figures are for orientation — never for self-diagnosis. Your report must be interpreted by your treating doctor.

Frequently asked about the arthritis & autoimmune test

Does a positive ANA mean I have lupus?

No. A positive ANA is common in the general population, particularly at low titres and in older adults, and most people with one never develop an autoimmune disease. It is a screening result that has to be interpreted with the titre, the staining pattern, your symptoms and further specific antibody tests. A positive ANA on its own diagnoses nothing — please take it to a rheumatologist rather than searching the internet for what it means.

What is the difference between RA factor and anti-CCP?

Both point towards rheumatoid arthritis, but anti-CCP is considerably more specific. RA factor can also be positive in other conditions — chronic infections, liver disease, and in some healthy older people — so a positive result on its own is weaker evidence. Anti-CCP is more likely to indicate genuine rheumatoid arthritis and can appear early in the disease, which is why rheumatologists usually order both.

Why does this panel take 24–48 hours?

ANA and anti-CCP are specialised immunoassays run in batches rather than routine same-day biochemistry. CRP and ESR from the same draw come back within the usual 8–10 hours, so you often get the inflammatory markers first and the antibody results the next day. We confirm the expected turnaround for your exact panel before collecting.
