ANA and RF Levels Possible JRA

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if any of your children have had an elevated Rheumatoid

Factor (RF) or ANA level. Both of my daughter's tests just came back

elevated 22 for the RF and 1:40 for the ANA. We are being referred to a

pediatric rheumatologist because our pediatrician has suggested she has

Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Any info you have would be

greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I have no idea if they were even tested for this? Both of your daughters have

periodic fevers? I thought normally it's only one child?

No, I only have one child and they are now questioning her

diagnosis due to these levels being elevated.
