A member asked:

My rheumatoid factor count is 119. anti ccp negative. what risks do i have in future? im married 23 f

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: The risk is small. Rheumatoid factor is not specific and can be positive in numerous conditions and in normals. The CCP is a much better indicator of future risk. Why were the tests done in the first place?
