I got a full body checkup and need an opinion on the rheumatoid factor normal range value. My report mentioned: Rheumatoid Factor Quantitative less than 20.0 IU/mL, less than 30 Normal, 30 to 50 Weakly positive, greater than 50 Reactive. Is this normal? Some sites say that up to 14 IU/mL is normal and more than 14 is high. Please advise.

Your report shows Rheumatoid Factor (RF) less than 20 IU/mL, and the lab reference range says less than 30 is normal, so your result is within normal limits. Different labs may use different cut-off values (e.g., 14 vs. 30), which is why ranges vary across websites. A normal RF doesnt rule out joint issues, so if symptoms persist, follow up with anti CCP test and clinical evaluation.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test
