RHEUMATOID FACTOR IGG

The Rheumatoid Factor IgG test measures IgG-class autoantibodies directed against the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G, providing a quantitative assessment of autoimmune activity commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases. Collected via a venous blood sample, the assay quantifies RF IgG levels (usually reported in IU/mL) to help detect immune-mediated inflammation and support early diagnosis. Accurate measurement of RF IgG can assist clinicians in distinguishing inflammatory autoimmune conditions from non-autoimmune joint complaints.

This test is used for initial evaluation when rheumatoid arthritis or related autoimmune disorders are suspected, and for monitoring disease activity or response to immunomodulatory therapy. Results should always be interpreted alongside clinical assessment and other investigations (e.g., anti-CCP, ESR, CRP), since RF IgG can be elevated in other conditions and in a minority of healthy individuals. Touch Connect offers convenient home blood collection across Dubai and the UAE with laboratory-standard reporting that can be shared with your treating physician for local clinical follow-up.
