The RA Factor test is important as it keeps a check on the immune system, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Any autoimmune disease can affect the body’s ability to fight infections, rendering it weak and vulnerable. Rheumatoid factor or the RA autoantibody can cause rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease. This disease causes joint aches, stiffness,  inflammation, and joint damage and usually affects people who are over 40 years of age.

If the x-ray shows any bone or cartilage loss or swelling in the joint capsules, the doctor will prescribe the RA Factor test. There are some symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis as well, for which the test will be prescribed. These symptoms are:

• Nodules beneath the skin
• Joint ache
• Stiff joints
• Swollen joints
• Restricted range of motion
• Fatigue

If the doctor has prescribed the RA Factor test in Varanasi, they will also be able to detect the severity of the autoimmune disease and the chances of the organs getting affected.

No fasting is required before the RA Factor test. It can be done at any time.

During the RA Factor Test

A phlebotomist will be assigned once the RA Factor test has been booked. The phlebotomist will arrive at the specified location at the specified time, and collect the blood using sterilised needles and gloves. The vein finder device will help them find the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then safely transported to the laboratory for analysis. The entire process is very hygienic.
