Know more about this test

The Rheumatoid Factor - Quantitative test determines the presence of rheumatoid antibodies in the body. It is available at an affordable price in Howrah with Tata 1mg labs. Rheumatoid factors (RF) are the autoantibodies produced by the body's immune system that attack healthy tissues. An elevated level of RF antibodies may indicate autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

The Rheumatoid Factor - Quantitative test is advised when symptoms such as tenderness, swelling, warmth and joint pain, fatigue, weight loss, occasional low fever, weakness, and lumps formation are observed. Some other tests are also recommended in conjunction with this test to reach a definitive diagnosis.

What does Rheumatoid Factor - Quantitative measure?

The Rheumatoid Factor - Quantitative test detects and measures the concentration of rheumatoid factor (RF), an antibody produced by the immune system, in your blood. Increased levels of rheumatoid factor can be detected in the blood in certain autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. However, an RF test is not very specific as a rheumatoid factor can also be found in the body in diseases other than RA, such as Sjögren’s syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). RF may also be produced in the body during persistent bacterial and viral infections. Hence, clinical evaluation and other diagnostic tests are crucial for a comprehensive assessment and accurate diagnosis.
