Aw a fɔ rɛdi fɔ dis blɔd tɛst?
Dis na di bɛst tin. Nɔ spɛshal prɛparashɔn nɔ nid fɔ dis RF blɔd tɛst. Yu kin tek dis tɛst wae yu de it ɛn drink nɔrmal wan ɛn de du yu ɛvride woke. Di dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ go na lab ɛn gi yu sɔm blɔd ɛn mek dɛn du di tɛst.
Wetin kin apin we dɛn de du di tɛst?
Dis na jɔs lɛk ɛni rɛgyula blɔd tɛst we yu dɔn du bifo. I rili simpul.
1. Di phlebotomist na di lab go pik wan fayn vein fɔ pul blɔd frɔm, ilɛksɛf na yu ɛlbo ɔ bak na yu an.
2. Klin di say fayn fayn wan wit disinfɛktant.
3. Dɔn, dɛn kin put sɔntin lɛk rɔba band na di ɔpa an ɛn tay am smɔl. Dis kin mek di vein dɛn kɔmɔt klia wan.
4. Dɔn, dɛn kin tek tɛm put wan smɔl nidul insay di vein ɛn gɛda di blɔd we dɛn nid insay wan smɔl vayl. We dɛn put di nidul, yu go fil smɔl sting, bɔt i go jɔs las fɔ sɔm sɛkɔn.
5. Afta dɛn dɔn pul di blɔd, dɛn kin pul di nidul ɛn put smɔl plasta ɔ kɔtɔn na di say ɛn ol am tayt.
Na dat. Di wan ol tin we dɛn kin du kin tek sɔm minit nɔmɔ. If yu de fred nidul, tɛl di wan dɛn we de wok na di lab bifo tɛm. Dɛn go ɛp yu fɔ fil fayn.
Aw fɔ ɔndastand di RF ripɔt?
Dɛn go sɛn di blɔd sɛmpul na di lab ɛn yu go gɛt di ripɔt insay wan ɔ tu dez. Nɔ fred we yu si di valyu dɛn. Lɛ wi si wetin i se.
di RF lεvεl dεm dεn kin mכsu insay yunit dεm pan wan mililita (U/mL).
- Nɔmal/Nɛgitiv: di RF lɛvɛl fɔ pɔsin we gɛt wɛlbɔdi fɔ smɔl pas 20 U/mL . If di ripɔt gɛt valyu we smɔl pas dis valyu, dɛn kin kɔl am bak "Negative." Negativ na gud tin. i min se nכ abnכmal hכy lεvεl dεm fכ RF antibodi dεm de na yu bכdi.
- High/Positive: If yu RF level de oba 20 U/mL , dεn kכl am "Positive." dis min se di amoun fכ RF antibodi dεm na yu bכdi hכy pas nכmal.
Bɔt, mɛmba dis: "positiv" RF tɛst nɔ min se yu gɛt Rimatɔyd Atraytis ɔ ɔda siriɔs kɔndishɔn. Na jɔs wan tin we go ɛp yu dɔktɔ fɔ no if yu gɛt di sik.
Sɔm pipul dɛm wae gɛt wɛl bɔdi, mɔr lɛk wae dɛn de ol, kin gɛt ɛlevɛt RF lɛvɛl wae nɔr gɛt ɛni simptom. Dɔn bak, sɔm pipul dɛn we gɛt Rimatɔyd Atraytis kin gɛt RF lɛvɛl we "nɛgativ."
So, mek shɔ se yu kɛr yu RF ripɔt bak to yu dɔktɔ we de trit yu. I go kɔmpia am wit yu simptom dɛm, wetin yu dɔn fɛn we yu de chɛk yu bɔdi, ɛn if nid de, ɔda tɛst rizɔlt (e.g., anti-CCP tɛst, ESR, CRP) fɔ rich wan kɔrɛkt kɔnklushɔn bɔt yu kɔndishɔn.
Mɛsej we dɛn kin kɛr go na os
- Rheumatoid Factor (RF) na wan antibodi we wi imyun sistεm mistek mek εn i kin atak wi כwn bכdi.
- Di RF blɔd tɛst na simpul blɔd tɛst we dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt ɔtoimyun sik dɛn lɛk at at.
- Dis tɛst nɔ nid ɛni spɛshal pripiamɛnt.
- Nɔ fred di tru tin se di RF lɛvɛl na di ripɔt ay ("Positive"). Dat nɔmɔ nɔ min se yu gɛt wan sik.
- Mek shɔ se yu go to yu dɔktɔ fɔ ɛksplen ɔl wetin yu ripɔt min ɛn wetin fɔ du nɛks. Nɔ tray fɔ no yusɛf bay wetin yu rid na di Intanɛt.
