Should you fast before rheumatoid factor test?
No From personal experience, I would say no. I have RA and I had to have a ton of blood work and none of the times did I have to fast first. That being said, I would check with your doctor who ordered the labs to be sure, because new tests develop and the requirements for different tests may vary. I am in the same boat and have never been requested to fast before having tests.
