Hello.
Has any one here had this test done: Vectra DA disease activity test for RA. I have just been ordered to have this test by my rheumatologist. From what I have been explained it is a blood test that can test and measure 12 different protein markers , also called biomarkers that have been linked to RA disease activity in clinical studies. It was explained that the test can give indication of the disease activity at present and at 18 months prior, and can predict the future disease activity. So therefor this test can aid in deciding treatment. Apperently this test gives scores 1 to 100, and outlines, mild, moderate and severe. From what I understand it can also detect other autoimmune factors involved or overlapping with RA. I have not had the test yet, just waiting for time from the lab. I was just wondering if anyone here had had this test? |
