What is Rheumatoid Factor (IgA)?

The Rheumatoid Factor (IgA) test measures the level of IgA antibodies that target your body's own tissues. While Rheumatoid Factor is commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis, the IgA type can offer additional insights into autoimmune activity.

Why is this test important?

Elevated IgA Rheumatoid Factor levels can help in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, especially in cases where other rheumatoid factor types (like IgM) are negative. It can also be associated with other autoimmune conditions and may indicate disease activity or severity.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
