A member asked:
Is rheumatoid arthritis found in the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Are you asking about blood tests to diagnose ra? The most specific is the ccp antibody. The rheumatoid factor test is less specific. Ra can cause anemia, low white counts and occasionally low platelet counts.
