What is the RA Factor Quantitative Test?

The Rheumatoid factor (RF) test detects rheumatoid antibodies in the body. This test measures the total percentage of rheumatoid factors in a blood . Rheumatoid factors are nothing but the proteins which are produced by our body and there’s a high chance that they attack the body’s healthy cells . High levels of RF antibodies may indicate severe autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, chronic infections like TB, and leukemia.

Symptoms of RF antibodies include joint pain, fatigue, weight loss, fever, weakness, and lump formation. Other tests should be performed in addition to the RF test to confirm the diagnosis.
