Quick answer
The Bone and Joint Package costs ₹2,449 and covers 8 tests (20 parameters). An 8-test panel for joint pain, stiffness and bone ache: vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, ESR, CRP, rheumatoid factor and CBC. None of the tests needs fasting. Reports are usually ready within 24 hours. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Joint and bone pain can have very different causes, and each needs different treatment. This 8-test package is for adults with pain, swelling or stiffness who want to know which direction to look in, rather than relying on painkillers month after month. It helps answer: does this look like inflammation, gout, or a shortage of what bones need?
The tests fall into three groups. ESR and CRP show whether there is inflammation in the body, and CBC adds supporting clues. Rheumatoid factor is one of the markers used when assessing rheumatoid arthritis, and uric acid is usually raised in people with gout, though it can dip during an attack. Vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus show whether the mineral side of bone health is in balance.
Wear-and-tear arthritis often leaves blood tests normal and is recognised from an examination and X-ray, so normal results do not mean your pain is imagined. Bone density is not measured here either. Share the report with a doctor or orthopaedic specialist. A hot, red, swollen joint with fever needs medical attention the same day.

- C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Rheumatoid Factor (RA Factor) Test1 parameter
Detects rheumatoid factor, an antibody found in most people with rheumatoid arthritis but also in some healthy people, used with symptoms and other tests to assess joint pain.

How to prepare
- 1 No fasting is needed for any test in this package.
- 2 Avoid alcohol and red meat the day before, as both can raise uric acid.
- 3 Skip calcium and vitamin D supplements on the morning of the sample.
- 4 Tell our staff about any recent injury, surgery or infection, which can raise ESR and CRP.
- 5 Mention painkillers, steroids or gout medicines. Do not stop them for this test.

Bone and Joint Package – FAQs
What is the price of the Bone and Joint Package?
₹2,449 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Bone and Joint Package?
8 tests: Vitamin D Test (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D), Serum Calcium Test (Total Calcium), Serum Phosphorus Test, Serum Uric Acid Test, ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test, Rheumatoid Factor (RA Factor) Test, CBC Test (Complete Blood Count).
Is fasting required for the Bone and Joint Package?
No. None of the tests in this package needs fasting.
How is this different from the Vitamin Deficiency Panel?
Both measure vitamin D, calcium and CBC. This package then looks for causes of joint pain, with uric acid, ESR, CRP, rheumatoid factor and phosphorus. The Vitamin Deficiency Panel adds vitamin B12, folic acid and ferritin instead, so it fits general tiredness and tingling better.
Does a positive rheumatoid factor mean I have rheumatoid arthritis?
No. Rheumatoid factor can be positive in healthy people, in older adults and in other illnesses, and it can be negative in early rheumatoid arthritis. A doctor makes the diagnosis from your joints, symptoms and tests together, and may ask for further tests.
Can uric acid be normal during a gout attack?
Yes. Uric acid can fall during an acute attack, so a normal value does not rule out gout. Doctors often repeat the test a few weeks after the pain settles. Your symptoms and the look of the joint matter as much as the number.
My knees hurt, but every result is normal. What does that mean?
It usually means there is no sign of general inflammation, gout or low vitamin D. Pain may still come from cartilage wear, muscle weakness or an injury, and these do not show up in blood tests. A doctor can examine the knee and decide whether an X-ray will help.
