Rheumatoid labs, or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) labs, refer to various tests and diagnostic procedures that help in identifying and assessing rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disorder.

These tests often include blood tests to detect certain biomarkers which are typically elevated in people with RA.

Additionally, tests measuring inflammation markers are common, aiding in assessing the level of inflammation in the body. Imaging studies like X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) might also be conducted to evaluate joint damage and disease progression.

The results of these tests collectively provide valuable information for healthcare professionals to confirm a diagnosis, design a suitable treatment plan, and monitor the disease's progression over time.

It's important to note that no single test can definitively diagnose RA, hence, a combination of clinical evaluation, medical history, and these laboratory and imaging tests is often used for an accurate diagnosis.
