Rheumatism can be used to screen for most rheumatic diseases

The rheumatoid triad generally refers to rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and is usually used to screen for most rheumatic disorders. However, clinical research still needs to be combined with other examination results to make a comprehensive judgment.

1. Rheumatoid factor: Rheumatoid factor is an autoantibody, the normal value is 0-20IU/ml, if it is elevated, it may be caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome and other diseases. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis will also have an elevated index, so it can assist in diagnosis;

2. C-reactive protein: C-reactive protein is a non-specific inflammatory marker, the normal value is 0-8mg/L, if the value is higher than the normal range, it indicates that there may be infectious diseases, tumors and other diseases.Acute attacks of gout can also lead to an increase in C-reactive protein, so it can also assist in diagnosis;

3. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate refers to the rate at which erythrocyte sedimentation occurs under certain conditions, and the normal value is 0-15mm/h for males and 0-20mm/h for females. If the value is higher than the normal range, it may indicate the presence of infectious diseases, connective tissue diseases, etc. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus also have an elevated marker, so it can also assist in diagnosis.

In addition, it can also be assisted by imaging examinations, pathological examinations, etc. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in a timely manner, and under the guidance of doctors, improve relevant examinations to clarify the cause and then treat the symptoms.
