About This Test
The Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test measures the amount of rheumatoid factor antibodies present in the blood. This test is useful for diagnosis and prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
The titer of RF correlates poorly with disease activity, but those patients with high titers tend to have more severe disease than do sero-negative patients.
When RF is elevated, it may indicate autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, most commonly Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The Immunoturbidimetric method is a quantitative laboratory technique that measures the turbidity (cloudiness) formed when RF in the serum reacts with specific antigens, allowing accurate measurement of RF concentration.
