The rheumatoid factor test is a commonly ordered laboratory test to help rheumatologists diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To conduct the test, a blood sample is collected from a vein using a needle. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis. The lab will examine the blood to measure the rheumatoid factor, which is a protein produced by the immune system that can attack healthy tissues in a person’s body. High levels of rheumatoid factor can often be a good indicator of an RA diagnosis. In fact, seventy to ninety percent of people who are diagnosed with RA have a positive rheumatoid factor test. If a diagnosis of RA is in fact confirmed, the amount of rheumatoid factor in the patient’s blood may also help their doctor choose an appropriate treatment approach. However, although the rheumatoid factor test is a very useful diagnostic tool, it is important to remember that it is not conclusive of an RA diagnosis. Rheumatoid factor can be found in the blood samples of people without rheumatoid arthritis or in the samples from people who have different autoimmune conditions. It is also possible for someone who does have RA to have no rheumatoid factor present, particularly in the early stages of arthritis, although these cases of RA are generally less severe. Unfortunately there is no single test that can be used to confirm a diagnosis of RA. Instead, rheumatologists must rely on a combination of medical history, clinical exams, and various test results, including the rheumatoid factor test, to confirm a diagnosis of RA.

If it is found at a moderate to high level, it confirms the diagnosis and may also indicate that the patient is at increased risk for damage to the joints, as lower levels of this antibody are less significant.
