Rheumatoid arthritis blood test 59. What does that mean?


Rheumatoid arthritis blood test 59. What does that mean?

I think its alittle high.That is your RA factor.Normally this either comes back positive or negative. Mine came back positive once & negative once . When its positive the joints are inflammed and hurt like crazy.Have you seen a rheumatogist?Thats the specialist that deals with this and fibromylgia. Best of luck my dear!

That isn't enough information. Which test? Rf factor or ANA? And what is the range?

A normal RA factor is under 20. So 59 is above normal. Your rheumatologist will most likely order more blood tests (CRP, ESR, anti-CCP, ANA) to help diagnose you for autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. What are your symptoms?
