Overview
Autoimmunity is a condition where your body starts producing antibodies against your cells (self-antigens). This condition becomes a problem when such antibodies start attacking the cells and they start dying. In rheumatoid arthritis, there are protein antibodies called rheumatoid factors generated by your body which attack healthy joint tissues causing painful swelling and redness near such joints. Prolonged condition of rheumatoid arthritis can cause joint deformation and even breaks.
To determine the presence of such antibodies, the Ra factor test is done. The test is designed to detect the presence of rheumatoid factors in your blood. If they are present in a considerable amount, it is most likely that you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The test reports can be interpreted by referring to the table below:
Ranges | Quantity (IU/ml) |
Normal | < 18 IU/mL |
Elevated or high | > 18 IU/mL |
It should be noted that the age of the patient also plays a key role in the quantitative analysis of the RA factor. Slightly elevated range may not mean that the patient is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. There must be an X-ray scan done to confirm the diagnosis.
Test Necessity
An RA factor test may be prescribed to patients who show the following symptoms:
- Severe joint pain
- Swelling, tenderness, and redness around the joints
- Stiff joints lasting for 30 minutes or more.
- Fatigue and low fever
- Lumps under the skin
- Dry eyes and mouth
- Loss of appetite
- Anaemia
It is necessary to establish a confirmatory diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis because an untreated condition of the disease can be hazardous to your health. If you are having any of the above symptoms, it is advisable to visit a doctor and get yourself checked for rheumatoid arthritis.
