I have attached my RF Turbidimetry test report. I am 22 years old and weigh 103 kg. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? Is this reversible?

Elevated RF may indicate autoimmune inflammation (e.g., RA). Weight is high; weight reduction helps. Joint pain, swelling require evaluation. Please take Anti CCP and CRP to confirm.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

My RA factor test report is positive. I have been experiencing joint pain in my fingers for the last two days. Six months ago, I visited a specialist at NH Hospital, who said there were no symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Hi. My mother has been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. We have been visiting a nearby doctor every month, but the condition seems to be the same. We are taking ESR and CRP tests in her blood report every month. According to the doctor, this will take time to improve, but it has been almost eight months, and we have not seen any improvement. Kindly help or suggest on this? Thanks in advance.

My wife has pain in her wrists, hands, finger joints, and shoulders. She is 33 years old. Her recent test results are: RA factor positive, CRP positive, ESR 14 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20), vitamin D, uric acid, calcium, and other tests are normal. She has not done Anti CCP antibody test yet. What are the next steps? We are worried because her RA factor is positive.
