The RA-IgA – Rheumatoid Arthritis Serum (M) test is a specialized blood test that measures Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Rheumatoid Factor, an antibody associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and certain autoimmune disorders. This test helps evaluate autoimmune activity and may provide additional diagnostic information, particularly in patients with suspected rheumatoid arthritis or when routine Rheumatoid Factor (RF) results are inconclusive. It is also useful in assessing disease severity and monitoring disease progression.

The RA-IgA test is recommended for individuals experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fatigue, or symptoms suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis. When used alongside other autoimmune tests such as Rheumatoid Factor (RF), Anti-CCP, and inflammatory markers, it helps healthcare providers make a more accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, FREE home sample collection, advanced diagnostic technology, and accurate, timely reports, supporting the early diagnosis and effective management of rheumatoid arthritis.
