Complement C4 – Assesses immune system function and inflammation, often in autoimmune diseases. Rheumatoid Factor Quantitative – Identifies rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions. Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) – Screens for autoimmune diseases like lupus and Sjögren’s syndrome. Cardiolipin Antibodies IgA (aCL-IgA) – Detects antiphospholipid syndrome and risk of blood clots. Cardiolipin Antibodies IgG (aCL-IgG) – Assesses risk of thrombosis and recurrent miscarriage. Cardiolipin Antibodies IgM (aCL-IgM) – Evaluates autoimmune clotting disorders like APS. Extractable Nuclear Antigens (ENA) Antibodies – Identifies specific autoimmune diseases like lupus or Sjögren’s. dsDNA Ab – Confirms and monitors systemic lupus erythematosus. Sm Antibodies – Specific marker for systemic lupus erythematosus. RNP Antibodies – Indicates mixed connective tissue disease or lupus. SS-A (Ro) Antibodies – Associated with Sjögren’s syndrome and lupus. SS-B (La) Antibodies – Suggests Sjögren’s syndrome or lupus. Jo-1 Antibodies – Indicates polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Centromere Antibodies – Associated with limited scleroderma (CREST syndrome). Histones Antibodies – Linked to drug-induced lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Full Blood Count (FBC) + Differential – Provides overall health snapshot and detects infections, anaemia, and blood disorders. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) – Measures inflammation or infection in the body. Uric Acid – Detects gout or monitors uric acid levels in kidney conditions. ESR – Indicates inflammation, infection, or autoimmune activity.
