Description

Rheumatoid factors are autoantibodies that the body’s immune system produces. The RA factor test is prescribed by the doctors to check the levels of rheumatoid factors in the bloodstream. Typically, the body produces antibodies when it is attacked by any foreign particle. But for autoimmune disorders, the body considers the healthy cells to be foreign bodies, and attacks them. The immune system produces these autoantibodies to attack the healthy cells. Elevated levels of rheumatoid factor signifies some autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus, and chronic infection. If the doctor has prescribed the RA factor test in Jabalpur, it can be booked using PharmEasy Labs.

For proper functioning of the human body it is essential for the immune system to be healthy. Autoimmune conditions can affect the body’s ability to fight infections, making it more vulnerable to attacks from foreign bodies. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can be detected by the RA factor test. This disease does not have any cure presently, and causes joint pain, joint damage, and inflammation.

Test Necessity

If the X-ray shows any kind of cartilage or bone loss, the doctor will prescribe the RA factor test. In case there are symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis, you will have to get the test done. These symptoms are:

Stiff joints
Swollen joints
Joint pain
Fatigue
Restricted range of motion
Nodules under the skin

In addition to diagnosing the autoimmune condition, the RA factor test also helps the doctor analyse the severity of the autoimmune condition. After the test results, the doctor will determine the treatment plan.

Test Preparation

There is no need to make any special preparations before the RA factor test.

During the RA Factor Test

After the RA factor test has been booked, an assigned phlebotomist arrives at your home to collect the blood sample. You can choose the time and date of the sample collection.
