Muscle & Rheumatology Profile
Measures creatine kinase, urate, rheumatoid factor and inflammatory markers. Useful context for persistent aches or heavy training loads.
What this tells you
Muscle enzymes with inflammatory and rheumatological markers, including uric acid and autoantibody screening. A starting reference where joint or muscle discomfort is ongoing.
Results are returned and explained privately by the clinic. Nothing is published on this website.
How to prepare
No fasting needed. Please avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand — hard training raises muscle enzymes on its own and can make results difficult to read.
