Rheumatoid Factor
 |
I have sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis. It has been almost two years now since it all started. I have not had my RF checked in nine months. I know that it might not ever be positive. How long should I get my rheumatoid factor checked? When will it,if it does, turn positive? |

Most patients who develop a positive RF, develop it within 1 year after the onset of symptoms. |
