What Is an RA Factor Test?
Rheumatoid factor is an antibody produced by the immune system. The RA Factor test measures the level of rheumatoid factor in the blood.
Doctors may use this test when evaluating symptoms that could be related to rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.
Importantly, a positive RA Factor result does not automatically mean that a person has rheumatoid arthritis. Some healthy people can have rheumatoid factor, and it can also be elevated in conditions other than rheumatoid arthritis.
Why Is the RA Factor Test Done?
A doctor may recommend an RA Factor test when symptoms suggest an inflammatory joint condition.
Common symptoms may include:
- Joint pain
- Joint swelling
- Morning stiffness
- Pain in the hands or wrists
- Difficulty moving joints
- Joint tenderness
- Persistent inflammation
The test is usually interpreted together with symptoms, physical examination and other blood tests.
RA Factor and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can cause inflammation in the joints.
Rheumatoid factor may be present in many people with rheumatoid arthritis, but it is not specific to rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors may therefore use additional tests, such as anti-CCP antibodies, along with the RA Factor test when evaluating suspected rheumatoid arthritis.
What Does a Positive RA Factor Mean?
A positive result means that rheumatoid factor was detected or is above the laboratory’s reference range.
It may occur in people with rheumatoid arthritis, but it can also be seen with other autoimmune conditions, infections and some other medical conditions.
Therefore, a positive RA Factor result should not be considered a diagnosis on its own.
What Does a Negative RA Factor Mean?
A negative result means rheumatoid factor was not detected or is within the laboratory’s reference range.
A negative result does not completely rule out rheumatoid arthritis. Some people with rheumatoid arthritis have normal rheumatoid factor levels.
Who Should Consider an RA Factor Test?
Your doctor may recommend this test if you have persistent joint symptoms, especially:
- Joint swelling
- Morning stiffness
- Pain in multiple joints
- Recurring joint inflammation
- Unexplained joint tenderness
Testing decisions should be based on your symptoms and medical history.
Is Fasting Required for an RA Factor Test?
Usually, fasting is not required for a standalone RA Factor blood test.
If you are having other blood tests at the same time, follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic laboratory.
How Is the RA Factor Test Done?
A small blood sample is collected from a vein, usually from the arm. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The result is reported according to the testing method and reference range used by the laboratory.
