What does the RA Factor Test Measure?

- In case your healthcare advisor comes across apparent symptoms during regular checkups, they will order the RA factor test to highlight the underlying diseases. If your test results show higher rheumatoid factor levels, it directly indicates many advanced health disorders and complications.
What Preparation is Needed for the RA Factor Test?
- There is no preparation needed for the RA Factor test as such. However, you must update your doctor about all the medications or drugs you are taking or have taken in the past.

What Happens to Your Test Sample?
What do Abnormal Results Indicate?
In a healthy adult, the normal RF Factor levels are less than 15 International Units per milliliter (IU/mL). People going through diseases like kidney disorders, hepatitis, viral and bacterial infections have higher chances of suffering from this disorder.
If your test results come out to be positive, it means you are suffering from abnormally higher levels of rheumatoid factor. After this, your healthcare advisor will most likely conduct several other tests such as CRP, ANA, or anti-CCP to examine other potential diseases and to confirm the diagnosis of your illness.
