Rheumatoid Factor Test. The rheumatoid factor is an antibody present in the blood of many patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors measure the level of rheumatoid factor by performing a blood test. A positive rheumatoid factor test means that the patientâs level of rheumatoid factor in their blood is considered high.
One study in Denmark found that people with elevated rheumatoid factor have up to 26-fold greater long-term risk of rheumatoid arthritis, and up to 32% 10-year absolute risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor can also predict disease outcome in some patients.
