A member asked:
Would 176 ra igm factor be considered a low positive for rheumatoid factor. what would be considered a positive level. my ccp level is normal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is positive: The level is not as important as what is your clinical examination and other findings. The positive rheumatoid factor by itself does not mean you have arthritis. There are other things that you rheumatologist will look forward to help clarify whether the positive rheumatoid factor is due to rheumatoid arthritis or something else.
