What Does Rheumatoid Factor 6.0 Mean?
What does Rheumatoid factor
Fri, 17 Apr 2015
Hello,
Rheumatoid factor is a inflammatory marker. It shows that patient has chances of developing arthritis. But value 6 does not mean anything. It can be seen with range of this test. So suppose normal range is below 6 so that means it is positive.
I would suggest you to meet your physcian and get your self examined. if you are other wise normal but only Ra factor is raised than it is normal.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
