Rheumatoid Factor
Explanation: Rheumatoid Factor (RF) is an antibody which the immune system makes mistakenly or when it’s overactive that can attack healthy tissues. It is often associated with autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, but can also be present in other inflammatory or chronic diseases like Sjögren syndrome. While elevated RF levels do not confirm rheumatoid arthritis, they indicate a potential immune system response. RF can also be found in some healthy individuals aged 60 years and older.
Test Purpose:
- Aid in detecting rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.
- Narrow in on the causes of certain symptoms such as joint pain and inflammation.
