This panel also measures uric acid levels to assess if joint pain may be caused by gout. This test may be especially helpful for individuals experiencing joint pain, particularly in the wrists, hands, and feet, pain or stiffness in the same joints on both sides of the body, and for those who have a family history of autoimmune conditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Arthritis \u0026amp; Bone Health Panel Includes:\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCMP is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function.

It’s created when the body breaks down chemicals called purines. Most uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys and leaves the body in urine. Too much uric acid can cause crystals to form in joints and the kidneys. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCRP, Quan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance made by the liver and secreted into the bloodstream within a few hours after the start of an infection or inflammation.
