- X-rays of affected joints (joint space narrowing, bone spurs/osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis—diagnostic), MRI (if X-ray unclear or considering surgery—shows cartilage, meniscus, soft tissue better), Inflammatory markers: ESR, hs-CRP (usually normal/mildly elevated in OA vs RA—but some OA patients have systemic inflammation), CBC, Comprehensive metabolic panel, Vitamin D (optimal 60-80—deficiency linked to OA pain), Omega-3 Index (optimal >8%), Joint aspiration (if joint swelling—rule out infection, gout, pseudogout), Rheumatoid Factor and anti-CCP (rule out RA if inflammatory arthritis suspected), Uric acid (rule out gout), Body composition (if overweight—track visceral fat), Metabolic panel (diabetes/metabolic syndrome associated with OA)
