I was recently diagnosed with RA with joint pain and some swelling (in enough joints to be considered RA) plus positive RF (low-positive @ 25). My rheumatologist ran some other tests (CRP, ESR, 14-3-3n, and Anti-CCP). All of these other tests came back within the “normal” range. I am curious – the anti-ccp came back as a 16. I know that a low positive is a 20. Does everyone produce this? Or could this possibly go up as the disease progresses?
I’m just wondering if I really have RA or if I’m dealing with something else.
