I agree. You can have what appears to be a normal RF test and still have RA. This type of RA is called Seronegative RA.
A result of 19 IU/mL on a rheumatoid factor (RF) test is considered within the normal range for most labs, as normal values are typically less than 20 IU/mL. This would generally be interpreted as a negative result, meaning it does not strongly suggest rheumatoid arthritis. However, RF levels alone cannot confirm or rule Show Full Answer
If I have RA and I have a nodule on my lung does it mean it’s from that? I’m so confused about that.
