CRP test
That's only part of the diagnosis, as you will need to see a Rheumatologist..
The main sort of arthritis that is the result of irregularity's in the blood is Rheumatoid arthritis which is an Autoimmune disease. The other is Gut which is the result of access uric acid in the blood.
No it is a disease of the joints
Yes
From what I have found on it No. However there is a reasonable lot of info available on it in wikipedia if yo follow the related link below.
I don't think Arthritis can be diagnosed by blood test. It is a physical phenomena
no,one blood test can not detect all forms of arthritis
Yes; osteoarthritis will not show up on a blood test. Rheumatoid arthritisshould show up, however if the patient is immunosuppressed or on medication to control the arthritis, the test is less likely to come back as positive. Generally arthritis should be diagnosed by symptoms, rather than relying on a blood test.
I'm not sure why you would do this. Blood tests are given routinely to patients with arthritis to check for other medical problems, such as autoimmune disease, that could be causing the arthritis. If these conditions are discovered, they can be treated, and potentially the arthritis can get better.

No that is not necessary. unless you are advised to do so by your doctor which may be likely in the case of tests related to gouty arthritis.
A blood test for ana measures the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood, which can indicate autoimmune disorders like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Results are reported as a titer, with higher titers suggesting a higher likelihood of autoimmune disease. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider are typically required to confirm a diagnosis.

Testing for arthritis generally involves a combination of blood tests and x-rays. X-rays are completely painless and non-invasive. Blood tests can be uncomfortable (especially for those with a fear of needles) but should not be painful when performed by a skilled technician.
At present the exact cause of arthritis is unknown however the cause for many forms of arthritis is carried in the immune system by the blood.
A high neutrophil on a blood test could mean a few things. Acute infection, acute stress, gout, leukemia and thyroiditis are a few. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatic Fever are another two.
You may have rheumatoid arthritis this can be checked with a blood test and kept under control to some extent.
