Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The diagnosis of Psoriatic arthritis is based on clinical grounds and radiological evidence. The most characteristic laboratory finding is an elevated CRP and ESR. This can be done along with x rays to look for pencil in cup deformity classically associated with psoriatic arthritis.
