How to Book a RA Factor Test in Delhi?
Lab infrastructure in Delhi
Known as the national capital of India, Delhi features a rich healthcare and medical industry that offers top-class medical facilities. With more than 500 public and private healthcare hospitals, nearly 700+ diagnostic centers, and enormous healthcare clinics, Delhi has witnessed a considerable rise in the past few decades. It can be said; the place truly offers something to treat every type of patient.
Along with a wide range of hospitals, Delhi also features an array of laboratories where professionals use the latest technologies and world-class equipment to conduct comprehensive tests and deliver accurate results.
With the advancements and growing infrastructure, the air quality of tier-1 cities like Delhi is degrading with each passing day, leading to diseases like asthma, sinuses, goiter, diabetes, and others. Apart from these, there are a few seasonal diseases such as dengue and malaria, which majorly occur during monsoons due to exposed conditions.
Why Book the RA Factor Test?
- The RA or the rheumatoid factor test is a quantitative test that is primarily conducted to determine rheumatoid factor levels in your blood. People experiencing symptoms like weakness or fatigue, joint stiffness alongside swelling and pain, mild fever, bumps under the skin, and weight reduction are most likely to suffer from this condition.
- If your test results show higher rheumatoid factor levels, it also points towards other abnormal health conditions such as hepatitis, cancers, and other bacterial infections. Another reason this test is conducted is to observe the effectiveness of the ongoing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
