Overview
The RA Test, also known as a Rheumatoid Factor (RF) quantitative synovial fluid test, analyzes fluid withdrawn from a joint (through a procedure called arthrocentesis) to measure levels of RF, an antibody. This test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by detecting inflammation in the joint lining (synovium) and can also be used to rule out other conditions like gout or infection.
