Chapter 6 - Diagnostic Lab Results Flashcards
Diagnostic examination of a joint (knee) in which air and then a radiopaque contrast medium (dye) is injected to the joint space, x-rays are taken, and internal injuries of the miniscus, cartilage, and ligaments can be seen if present.

arthrography
Process of examining internal structures of a joint via an arthroscope: usually done after arthrography and before joint surgery

goniometry
Process of recording heat patterns of the body’s surface: used to investigate the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis.

x-ray
Present in a variety of immunological diseases: positive results can indicate rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases

antinuclear antibodies
Test used to measure bone mass or bone mineral density.

bone mineral density test
Calcium level of the blood can be increased in metastatic bone cancer, acute osteoporosis, prolonged immobilization, and during fracture healing.

calcium blood test
Positive result can indicate rheumatoid arthritis, acute inflammatory change, and widespread metastasis.

phosphorus blood test
Immunoglobulin present in the serum of 50-95% of adults with rheumatoid arthritis.
