Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is confirmed through a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests. Healthcare providers typically assess symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, along with a physical examination. Blood tests for specific markers, including rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs), along with imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs, can help confirm the diagnosis and assess joint damage. A comprehensive approach considering both symptoms and test results is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
