A member asked:
My 14 year old has an elevated rf (over 200) but all other tests generally used to confirm ra are within the normal range.any ideas/suggestions?

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if the test for anti CCP was negative, the child is not likely to have rheumatoid arthritis if there are no joint symptoms.
