My mother has an RA factor of 256 and she has been prescribed a Tablet which I am not sure is ChatDoctors or HLgs. can you tell me what it is. My second question is she does not have any Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms like joint pain etc.How do we attribiute this high Ra factor figure
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A positive RA factor does not always imply that one is suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, patients of Rheumatoid arthritis always have a positive RA factor. Thus, do not worry about Rheumatoid arthritis. Continue the medication that you are taking. It is not clear which medication you are prescribed and for what purpose. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
