What does RA33 measure?
The RA33 test used to detect RA33 antibodies, which are autoantibodies that can be present in people with autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA33 is a type of antibody that targets proteins in the cell's nucleus. It is often found in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but can also be present in other autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Positive result indicates the presence of RA33 antibodies, suggesting a higher likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis or another autoimmune condition. A negative result means these antibodies aren't detected, making RA less likely, although it doesn't completely rule out the disease and may require addition testings for an accurate diagnosis. This test helps doctors diagnose and monitor rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases.
