It may be mean: you may have rheumatoid arthritis but not lupus.High levels of rheumatoid factor are associated with a tendency toward more severe rheumatoid disease.

Matched to symptoms: The lab results indicate that you probably don't have Rheumatoid Arthritis however you may have another autoimmune condition but only if you have several of the other signs & symptom criteria to match this result. Your internist can help sort this out with you or may decide to refer you.
