All you need to know about testing Rheumatoid Factor (Latex) levels with a laboratory test
The RA latex turbid test is a diagnostic tool that looks for specific antibodies that are commonly present in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Note that diagnosing RA is not as straightforward as looking for antibodies. The results need to be interpreted in the context of other blood tests, your symptoms and should be done by a rehumatologist or GP.
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure Rheumatoid Factor (Latex) for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
Tests which include a Rheumatoid Factor (Latex) test:
A positive rheumatoid factor test result indicates that a high level of rheumatoid factor was detected in the blood.
Higher levels of rheumatoid factor are closely associated with autoimmune disease, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.
These results are commonly interpreted alongside other blood test results and symptoms, and are often reviewed by a rheumatologist or GP.
A low or negative Anti-CCP result is associated with a lower likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA can still occur without Anti-CCP antibodies, so a negative result does not completely rule it out.
In people without symptoms, this finding is often not linked to further steps.
