Common questions

Your questions, answered.

What does a rheumatoid factor test show?

Does a positive result mean I have arthritis?
Not necessarily. RF can be positive in people without disease, so it is interpreted alongside your symptoms and other tests.

Yes. Some people with rheumatoid arthritis have a negative RF, which is why it is never used on its own.
Do I need a GP referral?
