Rheumatoid factor (RF) testing is typically used alongside other tests to help identify rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune condition that harms your joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It's a long-lasting problem that can also affect your organs and lead to other symptoms. A higher level of rheumatoid factor in your blood is often linked to autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. However, several other illnesses and conditions can raise rheumatoid factor levels, including cancer, chronic infections like hepatitis B and C, lung diseases, and autoimmune disorders like lupus and Sjogren syndrome.

When you experience symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis, such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness primarily affecting wrists, hands, and feet, booking an RF test from PharmEasy becomes relevant. These symptoms often manifest bilaterally and can be intermittent.

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis encompass:

• Joint pain
• Swelling and tenderness in the joints with warmth
• Persistent joint stiffness exceeding 30 minutes
• Fatigue
• Occasional low-grade fevers
• Reduced appetite

Extra-articular symptoms like dry eyes, dry mouth, subcutaneous nodules, or anaemia

Additionally, an RF test might be recommended if you are undergoing diagnostic tests for conditions known to elevate rheumatoid factor levels, such as Sjögren syndrome, lupus, or scleroderma.

There are no specific preparations required for an RF test. You can generally proceed with the test without fasting or making any other particular preparations. Just follow the PharmEasy team’s instructions on the day of the test.
