A RA factor test helps detect the presence of Rheumatoid Factors as well as determine their level in the blood. This test is commonly used to diagnose Rheumatoid Arthritis but is also useful to detect other autoimmune disorders. The test results help medical practitioners suggest further investigative tests and suggest the right course of treatment.

The RA Factor test is advised by doctors to detect and diagnose autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome. Any autoimmune disease is the result of the body’s immune system attacking the healthy cells and tissues of the body. Such disorders, if not diagnosed and treated in time, can result in serious health complications.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is one such autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints in the body, causing inflammation, pain, swelling and stiffness, but may also affect other organs like the skin, heart, lungs, blood or nerves. The RA Factor test is one of the tests most commonly advised to diagnose Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is, however, important to note that the test results are not a definite indication of the presence or absence of this disease.

The RA Factor test does not require fasting or any other special preparation. However, it is advisable to check with your doctor about continuing any ongoing medications that might interfere with the test results.  

During the RA Factor Test

The RA Factor test requires taking your blood sample, which is a simple and safe 5 to 10 minute procedure. The PharmEasy phlebotomist (rep) uses a sealed kit for the sample collection. A special Vein Finder device helps easily locate a vein in one of your hands, and a sample of your blood is collected through a disposable syringe in an air-tight, labeled vial. The rep will clean the needle puncture with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab and apply a bandage for it to heal.
