The Auto-Immune Panel is a set of labs that consist of Inflammatory CRP, RF, Anti-CCP, ANA with a reflex cascade panel if positive to a subpanel of auto-antibodies, and an ESR.

If you’re experiencing chronic fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, or brain fog, an Autoimmune Panel can help detect underlying conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or systemic autoimmune disorders.

Auto-Immune Panel screens for key markers like ANA (antinuclear antibodies), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-dsDNA, anti-CCP, and CRP, Desert Mobile Medical brings this advanced blood testing directly to your home, making it easy to take the next step toward answers and relief.

When your immune system mistakenly attacks your own tissues, certain markers show up in your blood. Here’s what they mean:

• CRP (C-Reactive Protein): This is not an antibody, but a general marker of inflammation in the body. It can indicate the severity of auto-immune activity or flare-ups.

• RF (Rheumatoid Factor): Often elevated in rheumatoid arthritis, RF is an antibody that attacks healthy joint tissue. It can also be elevated in other inflammatory conditions.

• Anti-CCP (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies): This highly specific marker helps confirm a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, often before symptoms become severe.

• ANA (Antinuclear Antibodies): These antibodies target the nuclei (centers) of your own cells. A positive ANA test is often one of the first clues in conditions like lupus, scleroderma, or Sjogren’s syndrome.

• CRP (C-Reactive Protein): A general indicator of inflammation in the body; elevated CRP may point to autoimmune flare-ups or systemic inflammation.

• ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate): Also called the sedimentation rate, this test measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube. A high ESR is a nonspecific marker of inflammation and can support the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases like polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, and lupus.

These markers give your physician critical insight into whether your symptoms are linked to an autoimmune process. At Desert Mobile Medical, we make this testing convenient and accessible by offering mobile lab services—right in your home.
