Abstract
Described is a method aiding in the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis ('RA'). The method is used in assessing RA in vitro. It is practiced by analyzing biochemical markers, including measuring the concentration of anti-CCP and anti-PIK 3CD and correlating the concentrations determined to the absence or presence of RA. Also disclosed is the use of a marker panel including anti-CCP and anti-PIK3CD in the diagnosis of RA and it teaches a kit for performing the method. Also described is the use of a marker panel comprising anti-CCP and anti-PIK3CD to differentiate RA from other autoimmune diseases, preferably osteoarthritis (OA).
