About rheumatoid factor test

Why is the rheumatoid factor test done?

Rheumatoid factor test is done in the following situations:

  • For diagnosing rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.
  • For diagnosing autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren’s syndrome or Systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • For diagnosing chronic infections.
  • For tracking the course of the treatment.
What does the rheumatoid factor test measure?

A rheumatoid factor (RF) quantitative test is used for detecting the levels of rheumatoid factor (RF) present in your blood. RF is an autoantibody made by the immune system. It targets the body tissues by sensing them as foreign tissues. The presence of RF in the blood signifies that the body is undertaking some autoinflammatory and autoimmune activity.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can progress either gradually or rapidly. It leads to stiffness, swelling, pain, and changes in our joints. Though it can occur at any age, people above the age of 40 are more prone to it.

Moreover, women are more at risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis as compared to men. Joint disability can also occur if a proper treatment is not received for the disease.

Risks/side effects of rheumatoid factor test:

There are no side effects associated with the rheumatoid factor test. However, you may feel a slight pain in the area from where the blood would be withdrawn. This can last for a few days.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the rheumatoid factor test results

Normal range: RA factor test (quantitative): Less than 14.0 Iu/mL

If your rheumatoid arthritis test result is positive, you might be having higher than normal levels of RF in your blood. However, a positive RF factor result does not necessarily mean that you also have some autoimmune condition.

Doctors may use different tests, such as the C-reactive protein test, antinuclear antibody test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate test, and Anti-CCP antibody test, etc, for confirming rheumatoid arthritis. The anti-CCP antibody is used more widely for RA than for RF.

Comments:

RA factor has been found in approximately 80% of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

People suffering from the following disorders may have increased levels of RF in their blood:

  • Sjögren’s syndrome
  • Hepatitis C, herpes, HIV
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Dermatomyositis and polymyositis
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Mixed cryoglobulinemia
  • Parasitic infections, such as malaria
  • Liver cirrhosis

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
