Rheumatoid Factor (RA Factor) Test In Gurgaon - Price & Details

If there is any kind of infection in the body, it produces antibodies to fight it off. However, if there is an autoimmune disorder, the body considers its own healthy cells to be foreign particles, and attacks it, producing autoantibodies. For efficient functioning of the human body it is important to have a healthy immune system. As autoimmune conditions affect the body’s ability to fight off infections, it leaves it susceptible to a wide range of health issues and diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis is one such autoimmune condition that can be detected by the RA factor test, and while there is no cure, timely detection helps to manage the condition with lifestyle changes and medication.

• Still and swollen joints
• Joint ache
• Exhaustion
• Limited range of motion
• Formation of nodules under the skin

If you are undergoing treatment for an autoimmune disease, the test helps to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The RA factor test also gives the doctor an idea about the severity of the condition.

You do not have to make any special preparations for the RA factor test. There is no need to fast before this test either.

During the RA Factor Test

Book the RA factor test and choose the home sample collection facility. The phlebotomist will arrive to collect the sample, and perform the test in a hygienic manner, adhering to all safety protocols. The vein finder device selects the best vein to draw the blood from, and the vein is then sterilised with ethanol. The blood is drawn using sterilised needles and gloves. The blood is stored in barcoded vials, stored in cooling containers, and then sent to the lab for testing. The process will be done within 10 minutes.
