Overview
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.

Test Necessity
You will first have to get an x-ray done if you have joint pain or damage, and the doctor checks this x-ray for any kind of bone or cartilage loss. In this case, the doctor will suspect rheumatoid arthritis and prescribe the RA factor test. The other symptoms indicating rheumatoid arthritis are:
- 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.
Test Preparation
You do not have to make any special preparations for the RA factor test. There is no need to fast before this test either.
