Rheumatoid Factor (Waaler-Rose Test)

LABOKLIN Service ID: 181

This test can be used to determine rheumatic locomotor disorders. It should be performed during an acute episode because serology might yield negative results in symptom-free episodes.
A negative test result does not rule out rheumatoid arthritis. The test can also be positive in patients with infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases as well as in healthy animals. The result must always be correlated with the clinical picture.
