Rheumatoid Factor
An antibody found in some people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Also positive in healthy people, so as a screening test it produces more worry than answers.
How we rate it: Useful
Worth doing for a specific reason: a risk factor, a symptom, an age group.
This rating and the description above were written against published screening guidelines by someone who is not a clinician, and are awaiting review by one. We would rather say that than imply an authority we do not have.
