  • Besides rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibodies, other blood tests could look for: Anemia (low red blood cells) is fairly common in RA.
  • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and c-reactive protein, which are measures of inflammation that often increase when you have RA.
