RA FACTOR ( LATEX )

The RF Blood Test, conducted by Hypro Diagnostics, plays a crucial role in identifying specific proteins called rheumatoid factors within a blood sample. These proteins, typically generated by the immune system to combat infections, can, in some instances, mistakenly target healthy cells and tissues, leading to autoimmune disorders. While not everyone possesses rheumatoid factors, elevated levels, particularly when accompanied by relevant symptoms, can indicate potential health issues. The primary application of the RF test lies in conjunction with other diagnostic measures, aiding in the detection of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA, a chronic autoimmune disorder, causes joint damage, resulting in pain, swelling, and stiffness. Beyond RA, heightened rheumatoid factor levels may also signal other autoimmune disorders, specific infections, or certain types of cancer. The RF Blood Test by Hypro Diagnostics serves as a crucial component in the comprehensive evaluation of various health concerns.
