[PDF] axial spondyloarthritis diagnosis

Ultimately, the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and peripheral SpA must be made by an experienced clinician and is based upon a combination of symptoms, physical examination, blood tests, and imaging tests such as X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

  • What blood test shows axial spondyloarthritis?

    HLA-B27 test.
    This blood test is not for inflammation; instead, it identifies human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), molecules on the surfaces of the body's cells that play an important role in the immune response. HLA-B27 is a specific HLA associated with axSpA and related diseases.13 jui. 2022

  • How do you test for ankylosing spondyloarthritis?

    At this time, no single test diagnoses ankylosing spondylitis. Your doctor may order a blood test to check for the HLA-B27 gene, which is present in most people with the disease. You may have the HLA-B27 gene and never develop ankylosing spondylitis, but it can give doctors more information when making a diagnosis.

  • Does axial spondyloarthritis show up on MRI?

    MRI is very sensitive for detecting inflammation. It can be a helpful tool for diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases early.
  • Imaging tests
    X-rays allow doctors to check for changes in joints and bones, also called radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, though the visible signs of ankylosing spondylitis, also called axial spondyloarthritis, might not be evident early in the disease.
