വാതമില്ലെന്ന് ടെസ്റ്റിൽ കണ്ടാലും സന്ധിവാതം വരുമോ? | Seronegative Arthritis

Añadido: 2026-05-22

Seronegative arthritis is a condition where patients experience classic joint symptoms such as persistent pain, swelling, and morning stiffness, yet standard blood tests for rheumatoid factors (RF) and anti-CCP antibodies return negative results; this occurs because these tests only detect specific antibodies present in seropositive arthritis, not the inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP) that indicate joint inflammation, meaning patients with negative antibody tests can still have significant joint damage if symptoms are ignored.
