The Rheumatoid Factor (RF), Quantitative Test is a diagnostic blood test used to detect the presence and measure the levels of rheumatoid factor, an antibody that is commonly associated with autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Elevated levels of RF in the blood may indicate RA or other autoimmune disorders, providing essential insights for early diagnosis and effective management. This RA factor test plays a key role in assessing autoimmune activity and is a critical tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory diseases.
