Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test is a primary screen for autoimmune activity. It identifies proteins produced by the immune system that can attack healthy tissue, primarily the joints.

What is the RF Test?

RF is an autoantibody. High levels in the blood are strongly associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and other chronic inflammatory conditions.

Why get tested?

  • Symmetrical joint pain, stiffness (especially in the morning), and swelling.
  • To differentiate between osteoarthritis and autoimmune arthritis.
  • Monitoring the progression of diagnosed autoimmune disorders.

Clinical Interpretation Range

Result (IU/ml) Interpretation
< 14 IU/ml Negative
> 14 IU/ml Positive (Consistent with Autoimmune Activity)

Preparation

No fasting is required. Inform your doctor if you are taking anti-inflammatory medications.
