The rheumatoid factor test may provide your doctor more information to make an accurate diagnosis in addition to findings on your physical exam, other tests, and your history of symptoms. The rheumatoid factor test may also help predict the severity of the disease. Studies show that when RA is linked with high levels of rheumatoid factor, it may signify more aggressive disease.
