What is arthritis?
Arthritis is a medical condition in which the body’s natural wear and tear on joints and other areas of the body cause inflammation, pain and stiffness. While arthritis can affect people of any age, it is most common in older adults. One out of every four people over the age of 65 suffers from some form of arthritis.
The condition is caused by deterioration of cartilage between bones (osteoarthritis), shrinkage of the lubricating sacs around joints that cushion movement (rheumatoid arthritis) or an infection that causes swelling in the lining of the joint (gout). The key to living with arthritis is to find ways to keep all affected joints moving while reducing stress and inflammation. This can involve muscle-strengthening exercises and stretching routines; taking medications when needed; avoiding high-impact activities; using assistive devices such as splints or shoe inserts; modifying activities or environments; and seeking treatments such as physical therapy, injections, or surgery.
What is the Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA) test?
The Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA) test analyses the blood used to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis in people with suspected cases. It measures a person’s immune system response to the condition by measuring how many RA antibodies are in the blood. Early diagnosis allows for proper treatment that can reduce the severity of symptoms, the progress of the disease and the chances of disability from it. The RA test is not definitive, as its accuracy is limited. Other tests, such as joint imaging and physical examination, should be used when determining if someone has rheumatoid arthritis. However, it is a good indicator for doctors to start a further investigation into diagnosing and treating someone who might have this painful condition.
When is the Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA) test recommended?
The Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA) test is useful for healthcare professionals to detect the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. It is recommended that individuals who are at risk or experiencing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis should get an RA test as soon as possible. Testing includes taking a blood sample and examining it for signs of a particular antibody known as the rheumatoid factor, which can be an indicator of the presence of the disease. Depending on symptoms and test results, further testing may be recommended to get a complete diagnosis. If RA is detected early, treatment options like medication and lifestyle changes can help maintain joint health and manage inflammation.
