About Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Test - Arthritis in Stow

Rheumatoid factor is an antibody directed against the body's own immunoglobulin G. It exists in several classes, most commonly IgM, but IgA and IgG forms can also be detected.

Elevated rheumatoid factor levels are found in many people with rheumatoid arthritis, but the antibody can also appear in other conditions and in some healthy individuals.

Because rheumatoid factor is not specific to rheumatoid arthritis, results are typically considered together with clinical signs, inflammatory markers, and other autoantibodies.

Testing may be ordered to help evaluate persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, and to support or rule out a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
