    What Is a Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Test?

    The Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test measures the level of a specific antibody in the blood that can bind with other antibodies. These autoantibodies are often associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. The presence of high RF levels may suggest the possibility of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic infections like tuberculosis, or blood disorders such as leukemia.

    RF plays a key role in autoimmune responses by mistakenly targeting the body’s own tissues. While not exclusive to any one disease, elevated RF values serve as an important indicator during diagnosis.

    This test is primarily used by doctors to assist in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis and to distinguish it from other joint-related or autoimmune conditions.

    Why Take a Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Test?

    Doctors may recommend a Rheumatoid Factor test if a patient exhibits symptoms suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis or another autoimmune condition.

    Symptoms include:

    • Joint pain and swelling

    • Morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes

    • Persistent fatigue and low-grade fever

    • Loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss

    • Weakness, dry eyes, dry mouth

    • Presence of firm lumps under the skin

    This test is also helpful in evaluating other conditions such as:

    • Sjögren’s syndrome

    • Lupus

    • Juvenile arthritis

    • Scleroderma

    • Certain cancers (e.g., leukemia)

    • Hepatitis C or tuberculosis

    RF testing is not typically used for routine screening and is usually ordered when symptoms are present.

    Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Test Results & Interpretation

    Rheumatoid Factor results may be reported as positive or negative, with numerical values providing additional context.

    Normal RF level: Less than 15.8 IU/L

    A negative result typically means RF is not detected or is within the normal range, but this does not rule out autoimmune disease. About 20% of people with RA may have a negative RF result.

    Positive results may suggest an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disorder, but are not definitive. Approximately 5–10% of healthy individuals may also test positive.
