Comprehensive diagnostics of rheumatologic diseases

Rheumatology Screening is an advanced package of laboratory and imaging tests, complemented by a rheumatology consultation. It has been designed for the early detection of autoimmune joint diseases, systemic connective tissue diseases, and other inflammatory disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

What does the patient gain?

Comprehensive analysis of test results

The patient receives a complete set of results, which a rheumatology specialist interprets in relation to the reported symptoms and current health condition.

Initial identification of the cause of symptoms

The analysis helps assess whether the symptoms may have an inflammatory or autoimmune origin, which is an important step in the further diagnostic process.

Structured and faster diagnostic process

The package organizes diagnostics, shortens the time needed to reach a specialist consultation, and eliminates random, uncoordinated tests.

Clear guidance on next steps

The patient receives clear information on whether further diagnostics, observation, or additional health-related actions are required.

When should you see a rheumatologist?

A rheumatology consultation is for people who experience joint or muscle pain, morning joint stiffness, if you struggle with chronic fatigue, if you notice joint swelling, recurrent fevers, or low-grade fevers, or if you observe skin changes of unclear origin. Is also recommended for individuals with a family history of rheumatologic diseases such as: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, spondyloarthropathies, gout, or inflammatory connective tissue diseases.

The program is intended for individuals who:

experience joint pain,
have morning stiffness,
suffer from chronic fatigue,
observe swelling, fever, low-grade fever, or skin changes of unclear origin.
It is also designed for individuals with a family history of conditions such as:
rheumatoid arthritis,
systemic lupus erythematosus,
Sjögren’s syndrome,
spondyloarthropathies,
gout,
or inflammatory connective tissue diseases, and who wish to determine whether they are at increased risk.

Scope of services:

The package includes a broad range of inflammatory, immunological, and metabolic markers, as well as imaging studies (X-ray, ultrasound, MRI), enabling a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the joints, tissues, and organs.
