A doctor has provided 1 answer

RA: Two or more swollen joints, morning stiffness lasting more than one hour for at least six weeks with detection of rheumatoid factors or autoantibodies against ACPA such as autoantibodies to mutated citrullinated vimentin can confirm the suspicion of RA. A negative autoantibody result does not exclude a diagnosis of RA. Do not know what values your lab considers normal.
