Book a Test- RA Factor (Quantituive)

The Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Factor test is a blood test used to diagnose and monitor rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. The test measures the level of rheumatoid factor, an antibody that is present in the blood of many people with rheumatoid arthritis. The quantitative RA Factor test provides a specific measurement of the amount of rheumatoid factor present in the blood. A positive RA Factor test result can indicate the presence of rheumatoid arthritis, but it is not definitive, as some people without the condition may also test positive. The test is often used in combination with other diagnostic tests, such as joint imaging and physical examination, to confirm a diagnosis. Monitoring RA Factor levels over time can also help healthcare providers assess the effectiveness of treatment and adjust therapy as needed.
