Rheumatoid factor (RF) is present in 80% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which makes this test 80% sensitive.
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is not specific, because it can be seropositive in many diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sjögren syndrome, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, hepatitis B infection, essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, infective endocarditis (subacute bacterial endocarditis or SABE), tuberculosis, infectious mononucleosis (mono) and hematological malignancies...This, by definition, is non-specific.
Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are IgG autoantibodies against the cytoplasm of the neutrophils and monocytes.
This is different from antinuclear antibodies (ANA) which are antibodies against the nucleus.
Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have several patterns; the most important two being the cytoplasmic ANCA (c-ANCA) and the perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA).
Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are associated with vasculitis, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss), rapidly-progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN), anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies (ant-GBM or Goodpasture's syndrome), as well as inflammatory bowel disease-associated. vasculitis.

My friend, you're creating a real video-encyclopedia of medicine here. Brilliant work, keep going! 👏👏
Thanks, man 😊
I left education at 16 and now I'm studying microbiology at university. I never heard of any of these things, but I need to know them so I can write about how parasites can suppress autoimmune diseases.
I understood everything, you explain it all perfectly.
Wow! Thank you 🙏
You are a perfect mixture of dry humor and essential information! I really enjoyed that little lecture❤️
Thanks, dear :)
I am honored!
Can you please help me by sharing?
"oh my god I'm so deep" I lol'd in the library, thanks for that :P
My great students are known for laughing 😂 in libraries and during exams 😄
5:20 "how I memorized everything in medical school" thats so trueeeee man!! 😂
Haha 😂
Thank you very much , your video is more valuable than those expensive books and some specialty providers .
Thanks a lot, dear :)
That’s the best comment I’ve had in a while 😊
Perfect! Thank you for explaining this so easily
Glad it was helpful!
I had 51 Rheumatoid factor after blood test, and doctor already said you have arthritis. They gave me midication and not helping, I ended up getting alkaline powder and thr pain is getting better, when its cold it's bad
Increidable charisma)) Continue doing what you do, man, your videos are awesome and they're a great help. Subscribed right away)
Thank you for posting this video. I am in Australia. I have Rheumatoid Factor of 598 !! I have done an anti CCP test to check for Arthritis which came back from the lab with a score of less than 1 which excludes Arthritis. I am now entering my 3rd year of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. No Doctor knows why I have this powerful fatigue for so long. The only thing really that they found was my FR being this highest anyone has ever seen. Does a highly elevated RF score cause Chronic Fatigue? If so how an I lower my RF?
Is this a big problem in married life?
3:33 "And baby you are on fire 🔥 " 😂😂😂
Your video is so good, but you explained the subject quickly and you passed several points
Like what?
for example "you are on fire disease", the disease may occurs because of releasing chemicals called cytokines which attack the cells of the synovial for example, and then synovial cells release another chemicals and then we get an inflammation
My Rheumatoid factor is +1400 and that’s as
High as the test can go. This has been confirmed twice ont test. My PCP and rheumatologist both said I have the highest rheumatoid factor they’ve ever seen in their careers.
How are you doing now?
@@unibrow9384 doing great. Stopped ALL their meds, refused anymore chemo. Take all natural remedies. Went from barely able to walk to Actually driving tractor trailer
With my husband now.

medicosis u really helped me improve so much in my class and i scored full marks two times this semester, and got 90+/100 in almost all other exams ! it wowed everybody (i used to be at the bottom of the class, failed 5 courses last year including hematology, but now I AM ENLIGHTENED!!! thank u so much medicosis, this is a lovely thing that you're doing!
i'm studying for medical lab science and biotech btw! and you have a video on every topic I come across...! it just makes me tear up when I struggle then see your video on my topic!
I am so proud of you 👏

So happy to discover this magnific channel

What is the rheumatic factor range which is negetive
Is it possible to have RA and not display signs of swelling in the early stages. I have been really stiff for the past 4 months or so and wrote it off. Until I began getting shooting pains in my fingers, bad fatigue, then pains in my toes and a sore heel. Went for a blood test and it came back with high rheumatoid factor. However I think I have caught onto this in its early stages and I dont think much damage showed up on the ultrasound and I dont seem to suffer swelling yet. Could this still possibly be RA without the obvious swelling ???? I got the impression the dr wasnt convinced, but I feel I have just identified it really early and there may not be much joint damage on display yet. Can you offer an opinion?
Everything I wanted to understand for years now in one play list ❤️
Thank you 😊
Very nice way to explain this topic.
I just have one comment :
I know that ANA correlate with disease activity in lupus arthritis!
So what do you mean in the last slide that ANA not correlate with disease activity?????
Thank you so much
Your lectures just like piece of academic art
🖼 + 🧪 = Medicosis 😍😂😆
@@MedicosisPerfectionalis really nice really but please keep these videos free for the seek of god ... may god bless u
Thanks, dear...I will try my best.
Can rheumatoid factor be lowered?
YOU ARE AMAZING I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL , SO LOVELY WAY OF EXPLAINING
I appreciate you!
Any problem to have pregnancy with this health issue?
Can you suggest remedies to maintain daily activities.
SERIOUSLY BRILLLLIANT ,PLEASE DON'T STOPPPP
I won’t! Thank you 😊
its realy cool when u said omg i am so good😂
first thanks for this video
why dont we then consider TB for example as an autoimmune disease just because RF is positive and according to what you mentioned that is why RA is an autoimmune?
Positive RF is not the definition of autoimmune disease.
Also in TB, we know the cause, it’s a bacteria (myobacterium tuberculosis) that triggers the immune system.
Love you so much sir
Really awesome teaching
Thank you 😊
here's the mnemonic that i heard from Dr Sattar (Pathoma; it's warm in 'G'eorgia and cold in 'M'ichigan
But it’s also cold in Greenland and warm in Mexico...So...? 🤷♂️
I’m positive Ana and igm. Trying to learn as much as I can.
I wish you all the best!
Your Humor is out of world ... Its too funny!! and content i think i shouldn't talk about such a great thing...
Thank you so much 😊
Funny entertaining and awesome 👏👏
Thanks a million 😊
0:50 “oh my goodness I m so deep”🤣🤣🤣dead ,yea bro u r so deep
Thanks 😂😂
Wtf causes high RF?
What if clinical presentation is of non inflammatory RA but ESR is elevated. No other inflammatory process is going on at least symptomatically.
great content...
love from INDIA
Love ❤️
Can you go from RF Positive to RF Negative? Can meds like Enbrel change the RF from positive to negative after years of being injected?
Update? Did you get that result?
It’s my favorite channel 😍
I'm listening to records of a doctor from Al-Azhar university. He uses another mnemonics for cold and warm antibodies, which are:
Cold= مِسَقّعَة (thus it's IgM as the word starts with the letter م) and
Warm= جهنم (thus it's IgG as the word starts with the letter ج). 😂
Haha 😂
Thank-you for sharing!
My pleasure 😇
What test is done to determine if there is rheumatoid factor?
A blood test.
Elisa test? Ana?
I like you a lot, your perfect way of explanation and funny sweet soul. Am in !
Thanks a ton!
Is Rheumatoid Factor elevated high in some one that has Mulitple Myeloma?
Can Vitamin D level of 10.7 and Vitamin B12 level of 102 lead to An Increased RF to 82? please answer
I have never heard of that!
Why is it made in the first place ?
I KNEW I HAD TO CLICK THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON WHEN U MENTIONED MEMORIZING!!! T_T
Thank you :)
you, sir, are my hero
thank you so much!
Thanks
Sir my RA factor = 119
Sir can you please tell me what should i do
So that it should not increase further
Plzzz reply sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
No one can diagnose you based on 1 lab test.
You need to see a good doctor who can take a history, perform a physical exam and order lab tests to see the whole picture and know the cause of high rheumatoid factor.
I wish you the best!
Medicosis Perfectionalis thanks for the reply sir 🙏🙏
Sir but i have 1 more question = what is the normal value of RA factor in a normal human being ?
Plzzz reply sir
@@ANURAGSAINI31OCT 20

It might, but a positive RF is not a confirmatory test for gout.
Thank you
My pleasure 😇
What is psoriatic and rheumatic arthritis? Please
I have videos about them in my “Rheumatology” playlist.
@@MedicosisPerfectionalis i do not know the meaning of psoraisis? As aword in arabic it means sadafia or sodaf or sadaf!! What is this word?!
youve got some video in between your ads sir
thank you!
My pleasure 😇
If it is negetive and esr is raised
The doctor will decide.
No one can diagnose you over the internet using 2 lab results.
Stay safe!
Good luck
Hello dear Sister
Same problem here.
What you do please suggest me
Seriously, 3 ads on a 12 minute video (which was great, granted) why not put in 7 more? Just sayin' :)
Hello sir NAMASTE

All newly graduated pharmacists are doctors. Physicians aren't pharmacists and pharmacists aren't physicians. It is good to consult with many specialties whenever the opportunity is present. Not a good idea to throw shade at the pharmacist.
I was joking 🙃
I make fun of doctors, and dentists as well in many of my videos!
your definition for sensitivity is wrong !!!
Last month only i suddenly got very high RF = 400 !!!! with sudden joint pain..... Am a doctor. Am shock ! And very very sad and afraid !
Talk to your doctor
Any Madison for RF POSITIVE SIR
????
so rude... trotzdem ich liebe deine Videos....ich finde die hilfreich. Jede Tag versuche ich, ein oder zwei von ihnen zu schauen und überlegen und erinneren.
Luv dis vdio
Thank you so much 😊
Lol "No honey you didn't"
Exactly 😉
Can you kindly send me your references on this? Thank you in advance
I use Harrison’s and Goldman-Cecil textbooks
Thank you
My pleasure 😇
There were definitely less extremely rude ways to say that a pharmacist/lab technician shouldn't diagnose you but ok. As a pharmacy student, I know that diagnosis isn't our expertise, but "GOD HELP YOU" was unnecessary :(
I was joking 🙃
I like pharmacists!
you're funny. i like you
Thank you ☺️
😻
Thank you 😊
🥰🥰🥰
:)
"oh my goodness im so deep"
0:48 omg im so deep!
OMG I’m so deep 😂😂😂
Haha 😂
God help u💔😂 Ur just cute
Cringe
Yeah...you just lost me at "not a pharmacist, God help you". I'm a pharmacist. Maybe you should call out one single name of a pharmacist who you know for a fact that's done that instead of all of us. Otherwise, you'd just be one of those "idiot doctors" that we also hear about.
I was joking 🙃
@@MedicosisPerfectionalis oh. were you? So was I. No I wasn't. You're hilarious. 🙄
Dammed I am not even studying medicine i just want to be a medical interpreter but hell you make it so clear and complete. Best underrated channel. 😂
Thank you so much!
