The immune system of the human body plays a pivotal role in keeping illnesses and diseases at bay. When autoimmune diseases affect the body’s natural ability to fight these infections, the human body is at an increased risk making it vulnerable to any foreign attacks. This may also lead to malfunctioning of its natural preventive measures. The RA Factor test helps detect one such autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis. This condition is signified by damages caused to your joints that result in pain, swelling and stiffness. This is a chronic condition without a permanent cure and it also affects the organs in the long term.
Test Necessity
If your healthcare provider notices any unusual symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis, they will advise you to get an RA Factor test. Some of these symptoms are:
- Stiff joints
- Swollen joints
- Joint pain
- Fatigue
- Restricted range of motion
- Nodules under the skin
The RA factor test does not just diagnose the condition but also helps your healthcare provider to analyse the severity of the autoimmune condition.
Test Preparation
No special preparations are required before the RA factor test as the patient is not required to fast. This test can thus be taken at any time of the day.
During the RA Factor Test
On booking the RA factor test, a phlebotomist will arrive at your desired address to collect your blood sample. You can choose the time and date of sample collection at your convenience. To ensure hygiene, the phlebotomists use sterilised needles and gloves, along with the vein finder device. The vein finder is a handy tool that helps phlebotomists to find the best vein in the forearm to draw blood from and reduce discomfort.
