Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Test

Introduction

Rheumatoid Factor (RF) is an autoantibody that binds to immunoglobulins, commonly found in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It is an important screening marker in rheumatology but is not sufficient for diagnosis alone.

Why Take an RF Test?

  • RA screening: RF positivity is frequently seen in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
  • Arthritis differentiation: Helps distinguish RA from other types of arthritis.
  • Autoimmune support test: RF may also be elevated in lupus and Sjögren’s syndrome.
  • Disease monitoring: Used alongside clinical and antibody tests for follow-up.

Method & Workflow

A venous blood sample is analyzed for serum RF levels. Results must be interpreted with clinical symptoms, imaging, and anti-CCP antibody tests.

Who Should Consider Testing?

  • People with chronic joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
  • Patients suspected of rheumatoid arthritis
  • Individuals with family history of rheumatic or autoimmune disease
  • Those seeking rheumatology or autoimmune health evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does a positive RF always mean rheumatoid arthritis?
A: No. Some healthy individuals may test positive for RF. Anti-CCP and clinical findings are needed for confirmation.

Q2: Does a negative RF rule out RA?
A: No. Early RA can be RF-negative. Other diagnostic markers must be considered.

Q3: Which other conditions can elevate RF?
A: Conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and infections.
